My wife says she doubts this was posted cause your an aviation enthusiast.

 

 

What? there's an aircraft in that video?

[Gyro Girl]

I am surprised there are any pictures out the left window.

 

Is forward flight necessary?

Some have a jump takeoff feature that overspeeds the rotor and then suddenly engages pitch, result is it jumps into the air, but since the rotor is unpowered it always need airflow through the rotor to keep it going so no hover (unless strong wind)

I'd skip ahead to 1:30

I think the idea of these videos is to get as many people as possible to watch, and I believe she's figured that out.

Fairly popular in Europe with many different models, but have never really caught on in the u.s. My helicopter instructor was a test pilot on the Mcolloch gyrocopter in the 60's ( the same people that made chainsaws)
