max tail take off attitude + 2.5 and landing before tail strike lol , a plane with no stall speed, terrible design

Defying gravity is always a risk, no matter how safe somone tells you it is.

I lost a friend to a gyrocopter accident ten years ago.. I begged him to sell it. They found his body a half mile short of the airport runway. Neverrr heard the cause. Did you know that Igor Benson was an ordained minister? No doubt so that he could give last rites with his machines.

Why don't they use the cut-rate Chinese engine? ...I guess they value their lives?

I worked on Bensens brothers house in Raleigh NC and they had the original gyro copter in their yard. Had lots of fun talking with his nephew Mark about the machine which was powered by a snowmobile engine.

Check out the Niki Calithea, far better choice. No coffin top canopy, two doors yet, fantastic vision all around. Equal or better performances.

That thing was a fuel guzzler.

I’ve learned from pilots, doctors, engineers that they think they are NEVER wrong. They also feel untouchable because they are stimulated by what they do each day and feel not like the rest of humanity. Only upon their deaths do they learn reality and while alive, they listen to no one and lack empathy for those they crush in their decision-making.

I believe that the profusion of digital flying aids focuses the pilots eyes inside the cockpit and not outside on the rotor characteristics. Its the rotor that keeps you in the air. Gyrocopters were always meant to be simple not loaded with multiple instrumentation.

I never want to fart in church. If I did fart in church, it would be a tragedy. If you farted in church, it would be hilarious. Car wrecks and plane crashes are like that.........Sorta.....KInda.......

Love it...

Heres an idea - Why dont you buy either a Helicopter OR a plane? Easier? Looks less ridiculous too.

When you say 'unloading the rotors', could I translate that as a kind-of 'wing stall"?

A Gyrocopter Is An Airplane, Only The Blade Is The Control Survace/Wing! Think Boys!!

Why hasn't it occurred to the Gyro pilots that the major safety deficiency of the aircraft is it's natural stability? In other words, pilots are assuming a safe aircraft is much safer than it actually is. In other words...... A grotesque and unreasonable overconfidence...... In other words....Pilot fuck up.

Always been intrigued by gyroplanes, though have no experience of flying. So trust you don’t mind my question. Why no side by side two rotor configuration? Any advantages? I see with one clockwise one anti-clockwise, you have balance, and low rotor speeds not an issue.

Just drive our highways here and you will see why your making this video lol

I’d love to take my licence under this guy

Watching some of the old De Cierva tractor configuration gyros, they seemed to have a very short / slow take off. Was this really the case.

"I like your preflight check illustration of the new T-600x craft. That is how an introduction should be. I feel? All small clinics or private medical practice facilities should have one of these(Gyro-Aircraft) stationed in their parking lot for emergency purposes. The company manufactures need to construct a larger flex-glass capsule fuselage to hold: a standard size stretcher, two occupants(A doctor with a med assistance personnel.) and a Pilot(Or multi-task med personnel)to carryout Med emergencies. Please note: Gyro must include a ballistic parachute deployment system referenced from Curti Industries; To avoid auto-rotation practices during engine failure for none experienced operators, and the safety of the patient during flight. Personally? I feel; This craft can save many lives. It moves and lifts? Quickly! And? That is what a patient needs most; Efficient transport. Meaning: No talk? No wait! Just simply?.. We have the ride ready, Let's go." 👍 ~I strongly support your development. It is needed, I know it could save many lives.~ Sincerely: A.

Built with the latest technology it would be a superb STOL plane i bet. (No pods)

FS2020 brought me here. Unbelievable they actually managed to fly that thing.

Those magnificent men in their dying machines.

What’s the cost of these things

Hi, thank you for this history on gyroplanes. I wonder why there's not a gyroplane company out there that's focusing on engineering more advanced tractor style gyros for safer, faster flying? Again, thanks for the info.

The Instructor instruments and controls in teh back seat seem to have everything except the flight/brake selector, I wonder why they didnt do that as well.

My favorite when I was a kid.

They used to make jumpstart Gyro planes that could pop off the ground with zero speed, but I don't think they're making them anymore. Too bad.

For those who want to convert to the foot-pound-second system (FPS), a minute is 60 seconds.

English title... English description but then it's German audio?

*_"Goldfish Club."_* Okay, THAT is new to me.

@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 >>> THIS VIDEO is one in the series I have not seen yet.

At the beginning of this video: Now THAT is a *_"BIRD'S EYE VIEW."_*

At about 03:13 in this video: A _Scorpion_ home-built helicopter cabin?

Back in the 1960s there was a line a firearms developed in the US called _"GYROJET."_ These fired one-piece 'mini-rockets', instead of bullets contained in separate cartridges. The system never worked well, and it faded from the market.

FWIW, I loved the look of the _WindRyder._

it was followed by Do27 after the war....

Brilliant innovation, what an unusual way to move large batteries around, known for their propensity to explode and burn with an ardent fury. Gyrocopters taking off and landing with their big volatile batteries, sounds like a plan, lol. Wonder if there's any room left for passengers and luggage, or does that have to go by train?

On newer builds what about an assist system for the rotor blades ? Sure if you Bunt/loop that's all she wrote, but what about a high torque starter motor with capacitors and programmable rpm switch 🤔 Machine the gyrohead with an outside gear similar to an outboard flywheel, the bendix is far enough away from the rotor to be safe but in the event you lose rotor speed it can engage even if just briefly and get you back 300-400 rpm Would that give you back enough lift to get out this scenario ? Or would that initiate a horizontal spin without a tail rotor even if it's only a brief second?

Sexy design. The only thing missing are a couple of rocket pods.

Observation here from my prospective as a non-experienced pilot. He went waaaaay to fast for the crafts design, pulling up at those speeds made it completely unstable resulting this crash

What's with the very odd thumbnails which have absolutely nothing to do with the video?

Back in the late 1980's we built a two-engine gyro, and the engines were closer to the center using overlapping propellers. Even at that, it was a deathtrap because if one engine died, the other engine thrust would yaw the aircraft so fast that you would lose control before you could throttle down the other engine. Even at low power, one engine would spin the gyroplane uncontrollably. In reality, there was no dual-engine reliability because you would need to add an auto-kill switch to both engines if one quit, which means you now had twice the chance of an engine failure, and a gyroplane twice as heavy to land. Even Dr. Bensen tried the crisscross one over the other rotor system and found metal failure developing due to the constant variant speed difference between the to rotors. Before you spend so much money on a project like this, just look at history and see what didn't work. There is nothing new under the sun in gyroplanes.
