Our Russian gyroplane

Autogyro is a frequently used word with the meaning of which problems arise in our country. Many people associate it with the Russian word "fat", but in fact, "gyroplane" has nothing to do with it. You need to focus on the Greek word, which means "circle".

Autogyro is an aircraft that is created on a specific automobile chassis. In simple terms, a gyroplane can both move along roads and fly. Something between a car and a helicopter, although closer, of course, to a helicopter.

Often a gyroplane is called a flying motorcycle, and there is some truth to this. The machine may be open. In flight, the screw rotates due to the flow of incoming air. An important feature of this aircraft is that it is much safer than a helicopter.

If suddenly a problem with the engine occurs in the sky or the fuel simply runs out, the gyroplane will land quite calmly due to autorotation - the screw will continue to rotate, which will be provided by the air masses.

Another feature of flying in an open gyroplane is that the flight takes place at a considerable height, where the temperatures are low.

Pilots are dressed in special suits for which heating is provided - otherwise people may simply freeze.

The video of the magazine “Driving” tells about the features of the domestic gyroplane:

[Grandfather]

this is a "breakthrough" ... you can spit potatoes in the fall, when there is nothing to eat, and yes, you also need to spit petrol ...

[Svarog]

Quote: Dead Day

this is a breakthrough

Indeed, a "breakthrough", given that the Soviet Union made them.
The first gyroplane in the Soviet Union was built by enthusiasts. These were the employees of Dmitry Grigorovich’s seaplane design bureau - engineers Nikolai Kamov and Nikolai Skrzhinsky (Information source - Istoriya.RF portal, https://histrf.ru/biblioteka/b/viertoliet-da-nie-tot-istoriia-sovietskikh-avtozhirov )

Autogyro Kamov, A-7, who was in service with the Red Army Air Force as a reconnaissance spotter.

Not an article, but baby talk in diapers. At least the word "gyroplane" was typed in a search engine. "Murzilka" damn it.

At least the word "gyroplane"

why, aptor wrote

associate it with the Russian word "fat"

although who, where associates? !!

The author and associates.

Does the editorial board generally don’t look at what kind of bird it is placing ?!

Autogyro is an aircraft that is created on a specific automobile chassis. In simple terms, a gyroplane can also move on roads

It’s not necessary to write nonsense. The gyroplane does not have the right to move on public roads, because it does not meet the technical requirements for vehicles intended for this.
The fact that he can ride is one thing, and maneuvering and safety for other road users is another. Because nobody him NEVER won't let out on a shared road.

[Oberon_13]

In Russia, a gyroplane may not have the right to move on roads, but .... what do you say to that? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XFeihBc9Voc

[K-50]

Another feature of flying in an open gyroplane is that the flight takes place at a considerable height, where the temperatures are low.

Nonsense again!
Autogyros do not rise to such a height, from the word at all.
One and a half to two kilometers, this is not the altitude at which the ambient temperature is already significantly lowering, then everyone would freeze in the mountains. Mexico City - the capital of Mexico, is not particularly cold at an altitude of 2000+ meters, our Caucasus Mountains, Altai, Sayan mountains too. In summer it is quite comfortable at this altitude. Well, in winter it's cold here and "downstairs".

Phrase: In flight, the screw rotates due to the flow of incoming air.
What is it like ? Or have I smoked something today?
On this note, on April 1, I would see the light.
And they already wrote about the height in the comments.

About the same as the maple seed rotates when it falls

[Oberon_13]

The gyroplane has a pulling or pushing screw (propeller) with a drive of torque from the engine. And there is also a freely rotating rotor with blades, creating a lifting force from the incoming air flow.

[Avior]

. the gyroplane will land quite calmly thanks to autorotation - the propeller will continue to rotate, which will be provided by the air masses.

A helicopter can’t land on autorotation?

Not everyone and not always. In other matters, and the gyro, too ...

interesting car ... who has nowhere to put money, can buy this toy ...

Why a toy?
This is the vehicle, and of the flying ones, it is the safest.
Takeoff and run are the shortest.

[Pvi1206]

after buying a gyroplane, you need to organize a 100-meter platform for take-off and landing (from where you fly and where you fly), and also build a hangar for storage ... this is the nth amount .... or rent a place in the flying club and come there to fly around ... again the costs ...

[Genry]

Quote: Pvi1206

it is necessary to organize a platform of 100 meters for take-off and landing

Mow or crush grass on an abandoned plot of land .... Of course, in the city this is unlikely. Only the periphery, but not as distant as the airdrome requires for small aircraft.

Quote: Pvi1206

build a storage hangar.

The gyrocopter itself is low and not wide. Need a building (shed) along the length of the rotor blades.

Quote: Pvi1206

rent a place in the flying club and fly there

Why if your gyrocopter? In the flying club you can take / rent a ride that you liked and with the instructor ....

What about a paraglider? In case of engine failure, the probability of a safe landing is even higher.

The steam planes have already broken too much to be called safe. They are very afraid of a gust of wind and the soft wing is afraid of speeding.

In a paraglider, a drop in speed (they say about the parachute mode) leads to a sharp decrease in the lifting force of the wing and the increased vertical speed of a collision with the ground.
In a gyrocopter, the speed of the wing (rotor blades) drops slightly even at the moment of zero longitudinal speed - i.e. the blades continue to rotate and plan for vertical landing.

[Anatoly Ryndyaev]

Paraglider does not apply to the vehicle!

Finally, the Military Review turned to the gyroplane theme, I am very happy about that, tk. I have a direct relationship to gyroplanes, moreover, to military or dual-use autogyros. At one time, back in 1994-1996, already in the rank of colonel, I was the head of the test brigade from the 8th State Research Institute of the Air Force named after V.P. Chkalov and we tested one of the first Russian gyroplanes designed by Igor Vyacheslavovich ZAITSEV, which was designed and manufactured at the pilot plant of the above institute. This two-seater autogyro was called "Ratnik" and was planned for use in several modifications (patrol, reconnaissance, combat and rescue). Unfortunately, due to resistance from foreign "advisers", we have not managed to breach this position, and in Russia until now only a few enterprises have managed to master the production of these unique aircraft. Moreover, the only domestic gyroplane that was certified and prepared for serial production at IAPO Irkut (it took about 17 years !!!), was discontinued and in 2020 this project was curtailed. Who can benefit from this, one can only guess! Currently I am leading a project for the development of all small aircraft in RUSSIA, which can be found on our website www.avialine.su

"An autogyro is an aircraft that is built on a specific vehicle chassis." - live a century, learn a century, your dumpling fell from the fork and the hiccups went through. "THIS IS A BREAKTHROUGH" thought Stirlitz.
