Gyrocopter.......

An autogyro (from Spanish autogiro), also known as gyroplane, gyrocopter, or rotaplane, is a type of Rotorcraft which uses an unpowered rotor in Autorotation %28Helicopter%29 to develop Lift %28Force%29, and an engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a Fixed Wing Aircraft, to provide Thrust. While similar to a Helicopter Rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing through the rotor disc in order to generate rotation. Invented by the Spanish engineer Juan De La Cierva to create an aircraft that could safely fly at slow speeds, the autogyro was first flown on 9 January 1923, at Cuatro Vientos Airport in Madrid.Autogyro Cite Note Greg 0 De la Cierva's aircraft resembled the Fixed Wing Aircraft of the day, with a front-mounted engine and propeller in a Tractor Configuration to pull the aircraft through the air. Late-model autogyros patterned after Dr. Igor Bensen's designs feature a rear-mounted engine and propeller in a Pusher Configuration. The term Autogiro was a Trademark of the Cierva Autogiro Company, and the term Gyrocopter was used by E. Burke Wilford who developed the Reiseler Kreiser feathering rotor equipped gyroplane in the first half of the twentieth century. The latter term was later adopted as a trademark by Bensen Aircraft.

    Hello Saimriyaz,
    The main purpose of a forum is increasing knowledge, the excerpt about Gyrocopter would be better explained in your own words. It will help you as well. It will help make concepts clear. 😀

    But yes attempt was excellent. Keep up the good work. 😀
