That's the stuff I like to here (and see)īut I am afraid, that kind of machines are almost forgotten, and today there are greater interest in machines with 20 hp in the prerotator its easy if you increase the HP, alot more dificult when decreasing the hp. Under any flying conditions flying with 15hp or so is an extreamily good trick. perhaps there are ways of changeing that medium who knows !? perhaps a marrage between a gyros rotor and the cloth of a parasail would give the needed lift ,who knows ?īut the important thing to remember is the limitations that like a Parasail or something but mechanicalĪnd not cloth.

I Dream of small gyros the size of a kids waggon just big enough to fit in with your legs crossed, but with a rotor diamator of only 8 ft I seriously doubt something like that could get off the ground at less than 100 mph, and I ain't going to try that ! In my view I want something that flys SLOW. I believe it can be done and be done safely, provideing one takes alot of care in construction and learning how to fly it. it needs more horse power for sure.īut time will tell, its been a dream of mine sense childhood and I plan to persue it. I seriously doubt it will get me off the ground the way it is.

I have a back pack Helicopter under construction now, it incorperates 2 counter rotateing rotors and at the moment only one chainsaw engine. Sure ! why not ! but what are you trying to do here, if you want to fly and see the country side you will want to be safe and comfortable, back pack types are seldome comfortable. as that seams to be the golden number ofccorse lighter would be better in the case of a "floater" but then controling such a thing is another matter.Ĭould you make a gyro thats mounted on a scate board in effect ? Personally I think the smallness of a autogyro is limited to the medium in which it is flying, conserning rotor diamator at leastĢ0ft of rotor diamator and 7"to 8" wide blades but that could be reduced if the entire weight of the craft was low and cept near a disk loading of 1.2lbs a sqr. If anyone are interested I can find a few pictures of Vincent and his strap-on / backpack gyrocopters.

What about simpler rotorhead and rotorblades that only fly on ground effect and at minimum speed? If we work in this direction with the gyrocopter, maybe we could be flying with less than 25 hp - on ground effect? But I doubt the backpack concept is a good idear for a gyrocopter. Schoeffman will have, or have already given, new interest to the backpack helicopter. Like the car industri, (at least in EU) a car of today are easily 2x as heavy as 30-40 years ago - and 1/2 as funny It should be easy with modern engines and materials In the direction of smaller, simpler, less hp, less weigth now a days? Excellent - look like they where better 50 years ago in small machinesĪND THAT's MY POINT: Why so litle, or no, devellopment
