I flew this in X-Plane 11/12, in VR. One of my favorite aircrafts in the game, basically. Very good for sightseeing. The speed is not bad, while you it is not a jet and you won't fly from London to Rome in this, you can cover a lot of distance fairly quickly.
This is an awesome looking gyro copter. I hope the performance is as good as it looks. As you can see... The baggage compartment behind the seat has been used quite often.
looks like he has taken aspects from every other gyro and incorporated it into his machine. Niki Aviations unique thru the prop tail group/support. Tail booms from a J2 / Zenon , Rotor mast from a Sportcopter prototype/or Twinstar, Autogyro's Calidus enclosed canopy. Looks good !
I mojo hope you are well buddy. These helicopter stroke airoplane looks awesome what a brilliant idea thanks for the clip buddy you keep safe and well philip.
@@danielschroederministies in some countries there isn't, were i fly you can just use your PPL, but you really want to take lessons anyway because they are different beasts.
Copy that Jan! I’m going to look into what the training requirements are here for flying them! Gyros seem to fill a spot when you want to travel point to point, a shot distance, but they are less expensive in every measure than a helicopter.
I believe Gyroplanes would have huge benefits being used in search and rescue missions. Its one of the main reasons I would like to get a pilots license. Another would be getting more people interested in aviation. No way i cant afford it without divine intervention, but I can still dream and hope others will do these things even if I cant.
That's what I intend for my gyro when not tooling around for fun. I make up practice missions to hone my SAR skills. This way I always have an excuse to fly!! Ha! Ha!
Beautiful craft and design, folks! Thanks for sharing MG! Wish I can flood Africa with this - flying on renewal fuels, too! Keep creating these little wonders. Hopefully, I can afford one someday.
mo.....gyrocopter market became big, amateurs cant see the differency, you should make a series of witch one are the top 5, some have wings---why---we cant read, some are able to lift off vertical...most dont, i am rearly confuesed....can you clearify once !! you explane very well, i loved the velocity-information..
This form of transport suffers from inevitable drag so adding a wing is increasing the drag - or is there some fiendish setting to slow the rotor whilst in horizontal flight?
I ask myself the same question. Why does this gyrocopter have wings? How do they affect flight performance? I have the impression that their main role is simply to look good.
I like the aerodynamic duel mast. I so wonder about the usefulness of the wings specifically the amount of lift they provide at what speed. If this is negligible then the extension of the winglets past the support of the beams is only there for style. The use of the beams to blend the horizontal stabilizer with the necessary vertical stabilizer size to deal with the cockpit size. The faired rotor head is nice. The attention to eliminating parasitic drag is great to see. I wonder what the rotor rpm is at max gross? What is the method of pre rotation?
Absolutely the most beautiful giro on the market! I like the wings on the plane and would like to know if they don’t block the Downforce of the wind from the rotor? Could not here the price, please?
So with the wings, does that not detract from the stability of a gyro in high wind/cross winds? That’s one of the biggest pluses to a gyro is the lack of instability that high wind conditions create due to more surface area. Gyros are known to be able to fly in conditions that would ground fixed wing aircraft.
Nice-looking aircraft, but the windscreen fabrication needs improvement. Even in this video the transparency is producing significant optical distortion, which could make flying more difficult, if not hazardous.
cierva and pitcair did that 80 yeas ago (giro toro ans a small wings) ... as chuck beaty was saying the probleme with twin blade teeter rotor is that anybody can make anything fly ..
I like the trailing link landing gear. I wish it was side by side with more cargo space. The seats do not look comfortable for a flight lasting longer than 30 minutes or so. Design and paint are nice.
Your kidding right? this gyro has more storage capacity then almost all other gyro's i've seen and that's most of them, in person. I was actually stunned how they found all that space.
I am wondering if one can take this off of a large ship, like a container ship, if it had say a hundred long long ramp and the ship was sailing into the wind for take off or and with the wind for landing. I am not sure why one might want to do this, but if one did for some reason, would it be feasible to do?
Sounds well built and looks kinda cool and like I've said before, it's very interesting that the concept works, it's very counter intuitive that a motorless rotor produces full lift but ultimately it just serves as a wing and I can't help conclude that a straight wing could achieve similar stall speeds yet have higher top speeds and better fuel economy etc. One interesting takeaway is that they are pusher prop configs which looks much cooler and that you could attach a wing instead of the rotor and retain that configuration. A front nose prop is actually a quite displeasing arrangement even though most don't question it. Perhaps an interesting confluence could be to use a smaller diameter prop so as to not need gearing, put it in a duct to perhaps improve it's efficiency when lower diameter and this also make the tail boom fit better and sort of looks like a jet. A fair bit of potential there I think. Of course using actual turbofan jets is that significant step more elegant and capable still. Where it becomes dramatically more capable. And even though many are by default opposed to new thinking, I'm quite sure most would be ear to ear grinning when flying such a thing.
The point is being more manueverable, of course it's less efficienct and slower than a regular airplane. Pusher propellers have been used in many aircraft in the past succesfully, but it isn't the trend anymore, same for ducts. Jets for this kind of aircraft are too costly and different from other engines, requiring a very different design.
@@vitordelima a jet is quite simple, you are basing the conclusion on price on incorrect intuition. there are no such small jet engines. they could be very inexpensive because it's such a light aircraft, not the typical 4 ton jets that are called very light. It's literally 10 times lighter. always question status quo and never blindly assume status quo is sage. certainly not for the awful state that GA is in where WW2 aircraft are still being produced.
Over the years I've done quite a bit of research on Gyroplanes, and like most things have good and bad points. The bad points are most are unable to fly much weight, and the second bad point would be they are relatively slow. On the plus side they are easy to fly, and "engine out" scenario can be a non event as auto rotation will take you safely to the ground providing you have at least a little space to land. The downside is for the size and speed they are fairly expensive where models like the Cavelon easily go over 100k+ and I'm sure this example is no exception 200k+. Part of the reason of the cost is the power plant. I appears Rotax has a corner on the market and a 140hp engine costs over 40 grand. Many in aviation would not think these costs are very high, but to many just getting into aviation and who might consider a gyroplane, are out of reach for most. The used market is one way to get one cheaper, but since most are experimental one is trusting the previous owner and builder put it together correctly. It doesn't appear the Tensor has a certified option so the owner is expected to put together 50% of it. All in all this is another variation on the well known gyro theme, and applaud the work and craftsmanship that has gone into this, but considering the price expect we will hear little about this gyroplane in the future. After all, one can buy a Cavelon for 1/2 the price for around the same performance and other various characteristics, so unless you just have money laying around and want something that looks "cool".
Engines has always been one of the most expensive aspects of aircraft ownership. It would be nice if an automotive manufacturer started competing in this space, something like light weight, well-built, proven Honda and Toyota engines for a fraction of the price. I know there is a aftermarket company that already replaces aircraft engines with automotive engines, so it's clearly possible, but it'd be nice if there was a ready-fit solution with some high quality engineering and testing behind it.
The big issue here is mostly the fact that overregulation has killed GA. If GA could use modern automotive engines and reach mass production gyrocopters could be as cheap as cars
The two Monitors should be just one continuous monitor and enlarged lowered and lengthened and made adjustable so pilot can view ground more efficiently. An older person will not be able to read such a small monitor. Also the seats look extremely uncomfortable .
They must produce lift. Gyroplanes have had no wings for decades and fly just fine. My guess its they are trying to increase useful load, otherwise why and the weight, width and complexity.
What about an electric motor on the rotor for XSTOL . With the pusher prop and rudder directional control should be possible for a15 meter take off roll and the motor could slow the rotor during regen to charge the battery while increasing top speed. Add another electric motor to the rotax to form a hybrid for more power.
When I lived in the Washington, DC area, would've been SO Much fun to fly one of these from College Park (small airport) to Cumberland, MD (smaller airport), where a friend lived. Not sure the Cumberland folks would've ever seen one before & might have wanted to thoroughly check it out & asked me many questions about it. Eventually, would've had to say to them, "Sorry, but I have a ribs & sides platter waiting for me at "When Pigs Fly." If you want to continue this conversation, come with me" LOL
If it has a fixed rotor hub then it would need wings with ailerons. This was the case with early versions of this type of aircraft, nearly 100 years ago.

Hi MojoGrip, if they can add a parachute or two engine and tires that goes into the plane would be great. But either way a nice plane.
A saving sistem made for helicopters does exist. I'm not sure if it fits for gyroplane like that. Technically it might work
Красавцы, очень много продуманных решений. Мне больше всего понравились сидения, и простые и легкие и удобно регулируются. Возьму на заметку
