Avian 2/180 Gyroplane (N656JT)

click me for a short video on this aircraft, not made by me but very intresting


The Gyroplane was a two-seat autogyro without wings, with a ducted fan pusher propeller driven by a 200 hp (150 kW) Lycoming IO-360 piston engine. It had a three-bladed rotor, formed from bonded aluminium. There were flapping hinges but no drag hinges.[2] In normal flight the rotor was undriven, but the design team were keen to enable vertical jump starts, an autogyro technique which spins up the rotor before take off without forward movement over the ground. The first prototype used conspicuous tip jets fed directly with compressed air from a fuselage-mounted cylinder.

The fuselage was built on a light alloy box beam which carried the cabin, engine mounting, rotor pylon and propeller duct. The well-glazed cabin seated two in tandem in front of the engine. Entry was via a starboard-side door; dual controls were fitted. Yaw was controlled with a rudder mounted within the propeller duct, enhancing its low-speed effectiveness. The Gyroplane had a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The main wheels were mounted on steel cantilever legs and the nosewheel castered.

Activation Group 1 : Tilt rotor for better take off
no Trim, not VTOL
Normal flight controls

Pilots Notes:
When taking off the ground, you cant pull up with the tilt, so just let it take off. when you are flying make sure the rotor keeps getting lift and be a few seconds a head of the aircraft to make sure you dont die.


the gyroplane never made a sale ):

the real one.
