[@scottfranco1962]

That was a hatchet job on Benson at the end. They have been around forever and its actually quite safe. An autogyro is safer than a helocopter because it is autorotating all the time. If it loses the engine, it just comes down to the ground at a reasonable speed.

[@markswinford4806]

I thought the same damn thing. An autogyro is always in autorotation (as opposed to a helicopter) and like you said, if the engine quits the air is already flowing upwards thru the rotor disk. A helicopter has to transition to autorotation mode if the engine quits, the air is flowing downward thru the rotor disk normally. The accidents that have happened for autogyros usually are related to pilot error, not the fault of the machine. But it is fun for people to make videos and hype things they are clueless about.

The gyro copter actually looks safer than the rest, if the engine fails it’ll just “parachute” down using its rotors

[@radicalrick9587]

You have to remember that a gyrocopter (except dual blades (one spinning the opposite direction stack on top of each other, etc...)) has to have a counterbalance prop or it will spin around like a top.

[@markswinford4806]

@@radicalrick9587 Actually, you are totally wrong. The engine is driving a pusher prop with no shaft power going to the main blades. A gyrocopter does not power the main blade set, the blades are free spinning, and auto-rotate. Much like a maple leaf falling from a tree, which is auto-rotation as well. Proof of what I say is shown right in the video, where the pilots are hand rotating the blades, to get them to start moving. This is prior to "dragging the runway" to get the blades spinning even faster. Once in the air, the pusher prop keeps the blades spinning (overcoming their inherent drag). A helicopter needs a tail rotor since the engine puts torque to the main blades, and the main blades in turn would try to spin the helicopter itself.

You talk about the gyrocopter as if it was made by one manufacturer and never caught on. They towed unpowered versions of these behind U-Boats during WW2 so they could get someone up high to take a good look around. After the war several manufacturers made them with engines and it can be seen in one of the Bond movies (You only live twice?) . That one was the Wallace Autogiro. Note: the rotor blades are never powered. The engine at the back is purely to give it some forward motion to make the rotor blades spin in the wind and provide lift.

[@Xformat01]

Flying one of these things would clean me out quicker than an enema.

[@Flapswgm]

The author of this vid needs to do a bit of homework. The Benson Gyro was a GREAT and VERY SAFE Gyro. Thousands of them were made and Mr. "Benson" was the demo pilot. The ONLY problem, like in most things, is the LACK of education from the pilot. Gravity is easy to understand. Density Altitude is a bit more complicated and THAT was the killer. People stalled the rotor NOT understanding how the lift was created in different situations. Too bad too. I LOVED flying it.
