Nisus Shows Its New High Performance Gyrocopter

[@brent1041]

Would have been nice to here performance numbers. Useful load, max speed at sea level, cruise speed at sea level, fuel burn for those speeds, etc

[@hogey74]

Can't say specifically but with gyros I presume Cub speeds on higher fuel burns but with great climb rates and low speed handling.

[@electricalmayhem]

@@hogey74 You are probably right, the website says max speed 105 Kt, but I'm assuming that's VNE. Video snippets I found were all 93-97 km/h so about 50 kt.

[@hogey74]

@@electricalmayhem yeah right. They're a big step up from those flying lawn chairs on a stick but there seems to be a practical limit to economical speed...

[@WRA838]

Will be similar to magni 24 or cavalon..with 915is about 70 to 80 knots

[@JohnEBurns]

I flew in a Gyro that did way better than that. Top speed was 150mph. Sustained. Woukd not go faster cause of being Governered for F AA rules of Classification. But at 75%-80% throttle, it flew at 115kts. at 4gal. an hour fuel rate burn with up to 600 mi. Dist. On one tank. So you tell me? I still want to by that Rigg and be Flyin' all over the Place at a Cost of $12-$15 bucks an Hour. So it Can fly affordable too.

[@kingfish4575]

Loved gyros ever since I saw you only live twice as a kid.

[@currentfaves65]

Those sliders on the canopy look like a jam waiting to happen.

[@n206ja]

Saw this at Sun 'n Fun - the engineering and fit and finish are exceptional! One thing I wonder about, though - looks like those long sharp angles in the canopy would cause a lot of optical distortion vs a smoothly curved canopy like most copters and planes have.

[@zapfanzapfan]

The ballast was a cool feature.

[@excellenceinanimation960]

I really like gyroplanes. I want one lol

[@jesael.duarte]

I'm not sure about the rails, but it's a nice design.

[@ZeeCaptainRon]

Did he say reasonable price and 140k in the same breath? for a gyro???

[@saml7610]

Yeah my buddy built his for $14k not including labor costs. This isn't a kit, so somewhere around $60-70k is reasonable. $160k is just absurd.

[@masterheke7339]

😂😂😂 greed. Is a cool design etc, they will get cheaper when more manufactures in market

[@Stubby0266]

Cabinet rollers for the canopy slides. LOL.

[@zorbakaput8537]

My tool cabinet slides are rated for 500Kg each, how much are your rated at? Given the Nisus cockpit slides only operate when parked on the ground you can sleep safely LOL.

[@CCitis]

100 percent! looks like ikea

[@CCitis]

Those sliders for the canopy look like Ikea drawer hardware LOL

[@peredavi]

Pffffttt.

[@hobanagerik]

If I didn't know better I'd say they were using server rails for the canopy.

[@dh-flies]

That's pretty slick... Would love to have heard how fast it is and how it handles turbulence and convection.

[@groberjager4746]

like to hear about its performance, range, speed, and cruise

[@richardtinkey2300]

Can you do flight demo in the nisus

[@ramjet4025]

Take a look at the Rotor Tip,

[@erictpg]

"they are also going to put an intercooler up here, very important feature cause most the Rotaxes I know umm, with the turbos run very very hot" is that how that works? intercooler cools the engine? hmmm. Are you sure about that?

[@confussious3240]

I UNDERSTAND IF ENGINE FAILS,DO TO ITS AUTO ROTATION CAPABILITIES, IS SAFE TO LAND. DOES IT HAVE THE CAPABILITY, TO GLIDE LIKE A MOTO GLIDER OR IS THERE A COMBO GYRO/GLIDER

[@samuledarconi2927]

Dunno if I like those drawer slides for pivots on the canopy....

[@ayokay123]

Does this run on expelled gas?

[@appomattoxross6751]

Almost makes me want to fly again.

[@quantumenergysolutions9128]

I think the future for autogyros, will be hybrid electric, as the new rotors than need to slow down for faster flights should be hooked up to an intelligent Re-gen system, with 2 x cap/bat packs. One gets the re-gen, while its not on load! Thats the trick!!! So range extension is possible.

[@hogey74]

These things have grown on me since Europeans with a clear fondness for staying alive have taken them beyond the contraption stage. As with the rest of GA I do think they're crying out for a true, full envelope recovery system however.

[@rollingthunder277]

But how does it fly...before it breaks?

[@jannowak8746]

Is he from Slovakia or from Poland ?

[@matthawaii]

Nisus

[@DinoPimp]

Can you drop snakes from it?

[@excellenceinanimation960]

Was wondering the same thing!

[@donaldbishop923]

Just try getting out of it after a roll over. Better have a way to break the "glass."

[@DrMerle-gw4wj]

Oh to be obscenely stinking rich to be able to afford something like this.

[@pablobressan-ip4yr]

Imagine amphibius version

[@JeremyBechtold]

The 916 is just a 915 with a retuned ECM..shouldn't be much of a big deal.

[@dougtaylor7724]

Euro gyros look like a Porsche. This looks like a Delorian.

[@googleyoutubechannel8554]

Nisuses, Nisusis, Nisusi?

[@andrewahern3730]

Didn’t you tell us in a previous video they’re called “gyroplanes” not “gyrocopters” (even though they’re rotary wing and legally more of a copter than a plane)?

[@ImpendingJoker]

There are interchangeable. I am a former US Army helicopter mechanic and former Part 147 instructor that worked on civilian helicopters as well. We used to say helicopter or airplane all the time to refer to the aircraft. It's the same reason why some people call asphalt "Tarmac" because that was the original brand name for the material. Like calling another citrus based powered drink, "Tang" even if it's not real Tang.

[@JeremyBechtold]

Gyrocopter is a trademarked term, so many refer to them as gyroplanes.

[@johnashton4776]

Canopy is way too big nice design around the rear, like the squarish shapes very nice.

[@morthomer5804]

Did not show the cockpit

[@TheTransporter007]

$140k LOL. Gyros are supposed to be inexpensive.

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

lol

[@nicholasmupchurch604]

This obviously isn’t a broke person hobby. I’m not rich, I’m not doing extremely well. However, this is the aircraft hobby, not frisbee golf.

[@electricalmayhem]

Typo in your Title, one too many s

[@justincase5272]

"VERY competitively priced... $140 thousand..." OUT

[@douglasgreen437]

😂😅😂😢

[@TheSilversurfmonkey]

Good lord, someone stuck a rotor on a Sinclair C5

[@LuciusFrederica]

Harris Laura Lopez Richard Perez Patricia

[@Tinker1950]

Only Americans would mangle a simple word like 'Nisus'. There's a single s after the i so it's pronounced Niysus or perhaps Neesus. His pronounciation would be spelt 'Nissus'.

[@grannyblinda]

All rotorcraft are inherently slow. High speed doesn't exist.

[@hansbumgarth7943]

@hansbumgarth7943 för 7 dagar sedan Witam ponownie! Mam kilka pytań do Was, którzy produkujecie najlepsze wiatrakowce na świecie! Pytanie 1. Czy mogę go mieć z miejscem dla 4 pasażerów + pilota? Pytanie 2. Czy mogę założyć pontony, wylądować na wodzie i wystartować? Pytanie 3. Ile czasu zajmuje Ci wyprodukowanie tego z taką samą doskonałą wydajnością? Pytanie 4. Czy możesz mi powiedzieć, ile to będzie mnie kosztować przy zakupie, wraz z tym wszystkim, jestem pewien? Pytanie 5. wiatrakowiec. Jeśli zaczyna się od skoku w powietrze, jak widziałem inne żyroskopy, może to zrobić, ten może zrobić to trzy =. Czy zrobiłbyś to z tym, czy jest to trudne? Co myślisz? Pytanie 6. Dochodzimy więc do tego, ile by mnie to wszystko kosztowało? Chcesz pokonać go na dłuższym dystansie, z większym czołgiem. Mogę więc polecieć daleko, z 4 pasażerami + pilot i tak daleko mogę polecieć na czołgu. Czy mogę zatankować zwykłe paliwo na zwykłej stacji benzynowej? Czy jest to 95 oktan, czy powinno to być inne paliwo do silników odrzutowych? Mam nadzieję, że możesz odpowiedzieć na wszystkie moje pytania, jako jedno do wszystkich 6. Nie zapomnij o żadnym z moich [e-mail]
