- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- The operation in this video was performed on a closed course.
The aircraft is a legal ultralight and all participants
(including camera operators and motorcycle riders) were
safety briefed and part of this production.
There was a post brief with the FAA
after this shoot was completed.
ROUGHT CUT OF SOME BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE.
I remember Gyrocopter kits for sale in the 60’s in magazines. First time seeing one in flight...amazing.
Actually they are even older than that. A relation of mine used to fly one in the 1930s. They were known as autogyros back then.
Can purchase on ebay now. 😂
I can't get enough of this video. This is the best display of steady and stable flying in a gyro that I've ever seen. It makes me drool over it. I must have one.
😢
It is sweet but im scurred. My dada buddy built an ultralight and effed himselff up on tue first flight. Walked away but was pretty busted up.
I am about to make one in some months. The purpose is to travel great distance for businesses purpose, like far away places which takes 2 days on bike.
I need one of those to go to work I'm sick and tired of all the traffic in California!!
Get a bike. Problem solved!
@@moto__shark with a whole bunch of lunatics on the road. high chance are you end up in the ICU room.
Unfortunately it's not legal to commute with an unlicensed vehicle. You'll need an "experimental" registration for the aircraft - basically you have to build from kit, do test flights, and have yearly inspections. Commuting requires a private pilot license or better: medical exam, ground school, 45 hours logged. Figure about $10,000 of schooling.
Fortunately this gives you the other private pilot privileges: flying at night or over congested areas, most small airports, talking to ATC. All airports if you have the necessary equipment and endorsement. Motorcycle is much cheaper.
Haha.. great idea in India also
You can enjoy the ride, its fast, you dont need deal with traffic congestions and laws, dont need stop, and can go in a straight l8ne from home to your place of work. But anyway Elon Musk are building underground roads to avoid traffic deals in LA.
Awesome, great photography, real sound and no crap music!!!
Как мотоциклист и бывший пилот, получил от просмотра истинное удовольствие!
I've not been back to this video in like a decade Shawn from when you first were posting your Gyro videos, (the early days) and it just popped up on my TH-cam feed, not surprised it's now got 11million views, well done.
Yeah. Thanks.. Kind of fun how it's sticking around..
I have watched this so many times but never tire of it.
It was a fun flight and shoot
@@rotorshawnsir how much ist the price and where sales this giro
@@NormanValdes-z7l In the USA
Very Good! Flying ultralights always felt to me like riding a motorcycle with no bounds. Great video! Awesome!
Great little aircraft. Nice film work as well! It was a fun and interesting video I've been a pilot for 41 years I'm going to build my first autogyro, looking at as many as possible to get ideas thanks stay safe.
I have my Butterfly for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
Hi Shawn, I have bought the exact same gyro, upgraded it with the clt kit. it has the 582 to tax. I havent flown it yet but have had several hrs of lessons. hoping this year. just wanted to say I watch all your videos multiple times keeps me inspired. appreciate it!!!!!
How has it been going for you?
Look up his name dude actually passed away .. rip
"I have bought the exact same gyro" - con you help with infos where and how much. I have plans but I do not feel confident enough to build rotor head.
I've beemthinking of electric giro too
@@trail4844 what really? I couldn't find anything
@@solomonjenkins9505no he’s still alive, as of Feb 2023 he is still posting from what I found
This is absolutely the coolest thing I've ever seen! Are these in production? Takeoff/landing room needed? Top speed?
*Been playing some FarCry4 recently.*
I searched up "motorcycle gyrocopter"(they call it "buzzer" in the game) on youtube today and finally found it. My day's been satisfied. Thank you. Have a nice day.
i cant get over how stable it is
In the 1920s, if you wanted to fly like this, no one stopped you. Now, people want you to "be safe". Life is an adventure. If you want to fly like this, I am all for it.
And meanwhile suicides are more common too w the boring safety restrictions of a stressfilled modern world.
AnantaSesaDas A man wants fun but he must get certified by FAA FBA FCA FDA...
Bro this machine is safe, it can not stall
Its probably safer than the bike!!
AnantaSesaDas 😀
Wow ! What a cool machine..I am totally green with envy !! You must have great observation skills going at that speed, scoping hazards like trees, fences, pylon wires etc., Respect my man ...🤢 !!
great video. Only problem I see in the design is that the strut from the rear wheels points directly to the pilot. If it comes down too hard, the structure should be able to take the impact and not pierce the pilot. But it's hard to judge a design without seeing it close up.
Wow!!
Let me say once again: WOW!!!!
SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fernando Massaranduba hello
This is exactly Captain Jedediah's autogyro in Mad Max. :D
Looks like something right out of an old James Bond movie.
It was called "Little Nell" in You Only Live Twice.
That's because it is
Mad Max movies had one...
that's what led me to this video lol
I love my motorcycle but I'd take the chopper for sure, looks like a blast!
It is.
not a chopper
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 Get to da chopper.
You're flying so close..must have been making the motorbike guy nervous worrying for his head 😛
Not as close as it looks. We were both in the same page.
I could watch this video over and over again .
Just build then
That is unimaginably awesome!
Aragiss Thnaks.. It's so much fun.
such videos will be part of archives of future generations. They will see our desperation to develop a more versatile commuting solutions Just as we see archives of old times
Lots. I have as about 2000 hours in that machine.
Do these require same amount of knowledge as a regular full size one?
+Shawn Adams 3,000 hours is a year and a half of full-time employment, so it's quite a bit for test-flying this machine. It takes only a few weeks of learning to be able to properly drive an automobile on town and city streets, plus highways, including different ways of parking; and then it takes a careful learner to be able to learn driving during wintery conditions, f.e. That's a total of at most two full-time weeks (of hours), for slow learners. So, 3,000 hours means you have plenty of experimentation with your flying machine.
Sure, driving a ground motor vehicle can get tricky. F.e., I was very accustomed to the Eastern Townships of the province of Quebec, Canada, all months of the year. Roads were always safely drivable for me during all seasons; except, one winter, we very unusually had "black ice" and I wasn't experienced with that. I was driving slowly but the car felt odd for control. I scratched my head like a monkey and wondered if I was hallucinating, decided to stop and get out to check the road, immediately falling or slipping backwards as I stepped out onto the road. It was super slick, fast black ice. Very unusual for the area I was in! It ended up taking about 2 1/2 hours to drive only 18 miles! I didn't know whether to turn back or not and continued onward, hoping the ice would soon end, but it didn't.
Well, it didn't take me 2 1/2 hrs to learn to drive on the icy surface. 2 1/2 hrs is only for the duration of the short trip. The learning happened in a matter of minutes. The driving speed became 5, 6 mph, crawling. Yes, I learned from the whole experience, but it didn't take more than at most a few minutes to drive safely with this road condition.
So, 3,000 hrs is truly significant experience.
+Kinshay Shafra I assume you're referring to a helicopter? They are much easier to learn than a helicopter..
Adams, what is the cost of this vehicle? how much fuel it needs?
I'm feeling this one for around $15,000. New there are around $25,000. It holds 5 gallons and will fly for about 45 to 60 minutes per tank depending on how you're flying it.
2019, IS THIS GUY STILL ALIVE?
Супер, только опасно,байкера без головы может остаться,я постоянно мечтаю так полетать,удачи тебе
You live once in life... That video is worth a risk... Great video!
Showing love from XKCD!
The question is why are those things so pricey? There isn't much to them and aren't very difficult to build.
Amen
Excellent question.....wonder if it's like the military "hammer" or toilet seat that costs $500....meaning....all the beaurocratic paperwork and certifications and appprovals required, not just for your "build", but also these same certs for all the parts? But even at that....it seems only a small mass of tubes and certified-graded hardware. The prop for sure will be pricey.....but still.......
This would make an amazing James Bond chase scene
There is one actually. See: You Only Live Twice
It's part of two amazing chase scenes in The Road Warrior
I was just thinking, if i had the skills I'd photoshop the autogyro shooting at the motorcycle
The smooth handling of the gyro is amazing .
I'm from India it's awesome guys
I love it so much 😍😍
great video--the machine I think everybody dreams of flying
cgi
@@mgmd4367 What's CGI, the aircraft?
I love anything able to fly even empty plastic bags :-)
Vinsu Karma This is way better than a plastic bag
Not even.. gyros are super maneuverable and much faster
Aww😂
@@kanamtadar152 so sweet and then so savage haha
Even A little effort of knowledge can make a man fly.... The copter has nothing sophisticated mechanism... Great shawn
What perfect pilot skill and controls ..... hats off
During the safety briefings, I bet they they told the guy on the bike at least 8 times, "Keep your head down".
When I first clicked on this video I got so excited I started laughing lol 😂 this is amazing 🙌🏽😍
That’s true friendship. Your mate buzzing you in a machine that has blades rotating so fast your mince if a gust of wind hits.
My thoughts exactly. Unnecessary risks taken for both for a photo shoot especially in that terrain which can be highly subject to updrafts/downdrafts/and shear winds.
Shawn,
Is that a kit? If so, who is the distributor?
Thanks
This one is made by a company called Air Command.
Super technology.. salute from India 🇮🇳👍🏻
Ever since The Road Warrior I've wanted one of these so badly! I could afford one now, might be a fun way to spend my (short) retirement....
asdfghjkl
hi shawn adams i want your contact so cantact me my mail id sraj213@gmail.com, my phon number 9688777971. pleas cantact me
+sp Raja Hmmm, seems like there might be a business opportunity in this. If it's what sg Raja's post is about and all works out well, then it'd be nice if you'd let me know about it, for I'll then communicate about this to some friends.
plot twist: he didn't know the guy on the motorcycle, he was just harassing him a bit for no reason
the autogyro is a wonderful apparatus! Felipe De León, pilot of the youtube channel, greets you TODO HOBBY
4:30 almost cut youre hands :O
Awesome flying man! :)
Seems like He loss control
What happens if you lose power on that gyrocopter ?
@@ted6176 From what I've read, you float to the ground almost like you have a parachute.
@@Devin_Stromgren Yeah, I've heard that too, but hard to trust. Maybe retrofit the machine with pogo sticks so it can bounce to a safer landing ?
@@ted6176 o9
I have watched this vid so many times, its the one that makes me want to fly, apart from my Spitfire experience that is
How do you top a Spitfire as a pilot? F18 maybe! Those Gyro’s look pretty affordable and fun!
Do it. Fly.
@@rotorshawn - What's the name of this gyroplane? What's the make or model? Who manufactures/sells it?
@@manofsan It was an Air Command. I made a lot of modifications myself, but it's an Air Command at it's core.
@@rotorshawn - is that the normal size for that Air Command model? Or did you further shrink it down somehow?
My favorite gyrocopter video of all time 🙂
Amazing.... It's look like an animation film....

Long time waited machine with Improved version
wonderful to see such inginuity
And this. Ladies and gentlemen. Is why women live longer than men
I hope they enjoy the nursing home as much
And this is why mens lives are better than womens lives
hahaha lol
And because Men is why we actually have machines that can fly and ride.
mooresly400 indeed!
Very beautiful, creative and inspiring
So very cool! I love the open pilot position, it must sort of feel like a flying motorbike. It looks very stable & nice to fly :)
Remind me a lot of mission I'm doing in FC4
इस तरह मशीनों पर भरोसा कर के, नहीं उडना चाहिए। इंसान हो, बंदरों के भाई हो, कोई कबूतर नहीं हो। हादसा हो गया तो प्राण पखेरू उड़ जाएंगे। धन्यवाद। साधुवाद।
Awesome
QUANTO CUSTA ESTE EQUIPAMENTO?
PARABÉNS!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
If you build it yourself, couple thousand
Wow amazing, mr shawn this is far far better than perfect. Great job but one more question what engine was that?
Thanks. It’s a Rotax 503 DCDI
@@rotorshawn world boss Mr shawn pls is your own same to Chris gammon helicopter/ Bill's helicopters. Pls can I view same pics I beg mr . And how can I get some. Thanks
I will assume the gyrocopter pilot knows that the Triumph bike was just “taking it easy” and not hammering on the throttle? The bike can easily outrun the gyrocopter, however the copter can fly over anywhere :) good trade offs for each...
So freaking awesome!!!
What cameraman is riding
It is called a gyrocopter.
I HOPE I COULD FLY LIKE THAT
You hope or you wish?
I'm not sure it's a good idea for a motorcycle to fly under a helicopter (or whatever).
So dangerous

If it's legal where can I get one! Looks like an awesome home project to assemble.

I need this Gyrocopter to fly from Colorado to Washington
2 beautiful machines in one scene!
Given that the rotor of the autogyro does NOT have an engine, how, you may ask, can this thing keep flying? Well, here's the answer: the autogyro ISN'T totally non-motorized! At the rear of the aircraft is a propeller that DOES have an engine; it's the propeller that provides thrust for the autogyro. The only thing the auto-rotating rotor provides is lift. Indeed, did you know that a conventional helicopter can also use autorotation to land safely in the event of an engine failure? Well, it's true!
Here's how a helicopter differs from an autogyro: a helicopter has TWO rotors: namely one main rotor at the top, and a smaller rotor on the tail; both of these are motorized. Thus, the main rotor of a helicopter provides BOTH lift AND thrust. As for the tail rotor: that rotor is there to prevent the body of the chopper from rotating in the opposite direction of the main rotor! This tail rotor, then, is positioned perpendicular to the chopper's forward motion. To provide thrust, the pilot tilts the main rotor forward. Yes, this does point the helicopter's nose toward the ground; but this DOES NOT cause it to lose altitude, unlike with pointing the nose of a fixed-wing aircraft toward the ground.
An autogyro, on the other hand, has a NON-motorized main rotor and a motorized rear propeller that's positioned in the same direction as the aircraft's forward movement. So in the autogyro, then, the auto-rotating rotor provides lift only; while the propeller provides all the trust the craft needs. All the pilot needs to do to turn the autogyro is tilt the rotor in the direction he or she wishes to turn.
Jeff Zebert I really enjoyed reading that. machines can do some amazing things
Thank you, Professor Plumb... No one asked, but thanks anyway. lol
@@barking.dog.productions1777 idiot
Shawn what's the price of one of these fine machines sir?
Any error you go straight up rather than down hats off
More than a HOLLYWOOD MOVE 👌👍
Brave man flying with grass cutter engine.😂😂😂
😂😍🙌😜
LOL
can you build better one?
Did you just call a lawn mower a grass cutter
And he risks to cut bikers head
Imagine just driving down a long road and a guy pulls up next to you flying one of those that'd be insanely cool
Oh that is so amazing. Closest I get to doing this in real life is playing Far Cry 4.
Yuuuuup, i just came from far cry 4 video, talking out an outpost with a gyrocopter, and now im here.
Yep
Why this suddenly recommended to me after 5 years 🧐🤔🤔
Also me showing after 7 years
Lol that means we are same kinda wonderful people
No we are same kinda desperate people... Lol 😆😆😆
Biker wearing full safety gear.
Gyrocopter-
What’s the point? If I eat it; I eat it.
What is the purpose of this machine? Walk around and short trips? What is the cruise speed and autonomy?
Rafael Cantarella ever heard the word "fun"? Because that's the answer for your question.
Вспомнил книгу - "Всадник без головы".
а чо там?
That looks like a lot of fun. Awesome!
Starting @ 2:35 Autogyro guys says to the Motorcycle guy: "Pull Over"
I need to build one but how ?
I need mecanical informations
there are many blueprints for free just google away
Back in the early 1970's I learned to fly and bought a small fixed wing plane Ercoupe N87101. During my time flying out of Westosha Airport located in Welmont, Wi. I met one of the guys who built the first Gyrocopter.I believe he flew out of Kenosha, Wi but made many trips to Westosha about 20 minutes away which had a 1500 foot blacktop runway and a grass runway and Westosha was located out in the farm land of Wisconsin. The guy who built the first Gyrocopter had a first name of Paul. Don't remember his last. After 15 years of flying I lost my medical card and first child heading to college.
George Humphrey good story. Thank for watching.
Aren't you that guy who helped Max Rockatansky protect the oil tanker?
God that thing looks like so much fun. Propably way cheaper to fly than any other aircraft
Cheaper and more fun than anything I've flown.
they used one of those in the Mad Max Film
And one of the James Bond films.

The reason no anti-torque system or tail rotor is needed is because the rotorblade is NOT powered. It is a free wheeling unit;therefor, no anti-torque or tail rotor is needed. I've had four engine failures (now have a new engine), they land very sweet and in the area the size of your car. They are usually home-built. Mine was about $7500. Yes, much cheaper than a motorcycle. And once you fly one of these the motorcycle just usually gets sold! There is no-one texting up there, and no-one with blue hair up there. Dig it, but get TRAINING or you will probably become part of the carbon cycle.
How do they compare in mpg?
@jackframe Being part of the carbon cycle? What do you mean? dying or breathing?
