Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!

my first ever Autogyro, took a bit of time and guidance(from other autogyros) but the result is.. very satisfying to say the least, hmh~

it's pretty whimsy to fly, you would expect it either to be a hover-ey plane or well, an actual plane, but it's neither, it's.. pretty interesting in terms of flight characteristics, landing wise though, it's like a.. I guess a very slow plane, bushplaney kinda feeling.

sadly enough, i can't replicate the short 30m powered takeoff thanks to well, unpowered rotors, if you give the main rotor power it immediately goes kaskadoosh, I'll probably try again next time around if i make another (please read the bold text in italian accent) autogiro,
oui oui. (chii, that's french)
oh, uh... pizza? (really? that's the best you can think of?)
err.. ciabatta? (are we naming breads now?)
...parmesan? (really? Italian foodstuffs?)
..balsamic vinegar (THAT'S STILL A FOODSTUFF CHII, AGH!)

NEVERMIND, I MADE THE POWERED ROTOR WORK AWW YEA

The Kayaba Ka-1 and Ka-2 were Japanese autogyros, seeing service during World War II for artillery spotting.

The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) developed the Ka-1 autogyro for reconnaissance, artillery-spotting, and anti-submarine uses. The Ka-1 was based on an American design, the Kellett KD-1A, which had been imported to Japan in 1939, but which was damaged beyond repair shortly after arrival. Kayaba Industry was tasked by the IJA to develop a similar machine, and the first prototype was flying on 26 May 1941. The craft was initially developed for use as an observation platform and for artillery spotting duties. The IJA liked the craft's short, (30 m (98 ft)) take-off run, and its low maintenance requirements. Production began in 1941 and the first autogyros were assigned to artillery units for artillery spotting, crewed by pilot and spotter.

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)

Want More Part-Efficient Aircrafts?

come along come along! we(yes, we.) have a lot of low part, simple, and realistic performing aircrafts for all to use and fight against! light performance cost and AI-spawnable, there's no reason not to! we have the little beloved Fuchs, the graceful Muromets, the Holy Mi-26, and... a lot of obscure aircrafts are available!!

P.S. there's also Community Submitted PEA, if you wanna join our abode of simple aircrafts, I welcome!! as along as it is according to the rules down on the forum, cough.

P.S. if you want to throw in an idea, maybe a plane, a ship, anything really(I even got an interdimensional interplanetary vacuum cleaner).. go do it, I'll pick it up if i find the idea interesting enough.
