- What is a Gyroplane? - AutoGyro
A gyroplane, also known as a gyrocopter or autogyro, is a relatively simple aircraft concept, and easy to fly – but often historically misunderstood It is also incredibly safe to fly when flown within its normal flight envelope
- Gyroplane - SKYbrary Aviation Safety
A gyroplane is an aircraft that achieves lift by means of a free spinning rotor Unlike a helicopter which has a powered rotor, the rotor of a gyroplane spins in flight due to the air loading on the rotor blades (aerofoils) as the aircraft moves forward
