Thanks Anita for bringing this wonderful aircraft
Thank you Anita for bringing this wonderful and unique vehicle. I have enjoyed it for a long time and it is wonderful that all SL pilots can see an autogyro, and more specifically one very similar to the original and primitive invention.
There are very few autogyros in SL, and this one is undoubtedly the most complete and similar to the one in RL.
The current autogyros, which are derived from it, have inherited its operation. And some wanted to change the name to "Gyrocopter".
Again, thank you, Anita.
Blue skies!!!! to everyone who uses this device.
===== Very Little History =====
And if you want a summary of the story and have a few minutes of time, here is this summary.
The autogyro was invented by the Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in 1923. With the aim of improving the safety of the incipient aviation that was suffering many accidents due to airplanes stalling. The brilliant inventor managed to avoid this danger with the autogyro, creating the safest aircraft to date.
The article recounted how De la Cierva had suffered an accident when a three-engine biplane he had built himself had stalled and crashed. From that experience, the Spaniard had pursued the design of a safer aircraft, one that would not lose lift even at very low speeds (the main cause of aviation accidents even today), and that could land almost vertically.
The autogyro rotor “rotates by aerodynamic forces through a phenomenon called autorotation.
This wind-driven rotation is what gives the autogyro greater safety than airplanes and helicopters. If the engine stopped, the rotor continued to spin and the craft simply glided smoothly to the ground instead of crashing.
And this is how the history began.
