    Working in a high-performance bicycle shop along the coast of Northern California, inventor Dezsö Molnár is building the second model of his gyrocycle. Yep, this rocket scientist is making his own flying car--all by hand. This is something we had to check out!

    What I like most of this video is that the guy who was a motor cycle guy turned into a highly knowledgeable aviation engineer not because it was his job but because he developed a passion for it.. love it!

    Genius. This is idea/concept shows real promise especially interesting putting the engine with the prop oriented fore instead of aft solving the dangerous pitch-over situation.

    For all of those critics out there, this is the closest I've seen to a roadable aircraft aside from the Pal-V, and his "engine behind the propeller" idea is not something I've seen, even on airplanes. The problem with gyroplanes is scaling them up without jeopardizing the COG. This is a novel attempt to get around that. I am excited to see where this idea goes. Obviously, the flying stability will make or break the success of the design. This guy isn't just some hack in a bike shop.

    • @Threetails
      @Threetails 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      The P-39 Aircobra had an engine pretty far back. My biggest worry here would be weight distribution. If they can keep it from being massively tail-heavy, then I don't see any reason it wouldn't be a perfectly viable aircraft.

    • @Emiliocab47

  • @ew4096
    @ew4096 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The pitch problem he is discussing is usually solved in Autogyros by extending the rear tail to change the center of gravity. I am not en engineer, however, I believe that is what many modern push Autogyro manufacturers are doing, extending the rear tail and adding winglets.

  • @Dc328

    This is interesting. As in vary. I am moving to the Philippines where innovations is welcome. I can see your bike with modified bench seats on the left and right sides for passengers . When water is in countered the benches swing downward to become snow skis and the mounts for Full Lotus floats for travel to any beach. Extra passengers travel in ground effect but when only 2 passengers then take to the air. Each float would be divided into 2 per side.

    Amazing builds but i must say the 2nd one has a beefy looking belt, When you see the belt on the 1st one it looks dangerously thin in comparison. I would say that if there were no nasty accidents so far with the 1st design then they should probably beef that up before they break a belt in a bad situation. However if testing! they should be in a safe zone and the good things about autogyros is that they can autorotate and land without power.

    His Gyrocoptor does not have a Prerotation set up.. Most gyrocopters have a Hydraulic or mechanical Prerotation setup so they can get the Rotor spinning at a good RPM, for short take offs.. The way he has it set up, you got to have one hell of a long runway to get off the ground. I like it but at the same time i don't.

    I love the design considerations, brilliant! Take a look at the thought/design process on the dymaxion car by buckminster fuller, they would be good to add to the mix on this "flying vehicle" design: aerodynamic body and undercarriage and 3 wheel design (film/video of the car exist) The 3 wheel dymaxion was designed to be a flying car however the technology to realize the design didn't exist in 1932. I am merely suggesting that the "ideal" design notes that Bucky Fuller had for the Dymaxion apply, not the actual car that was built. By the way a Brit recreated a working Car, good You Tube video.
