Autogyro Frames

WARNING

Support for autogyro frames is experimental. Maintainer volunteers, contribution of new features, new frame configurations, or other improvements would all be very welcome!

An Autogyro is a type of rotary-wing. 다른 유형의 회전익과 비교하여 다음과 같은 장점들이 있습니다.

  • Ability to take off and land using only a very short runway (compared to an fixed-wing vehicle).
  • High resistance to weather conditions, especially gusts of wind.
  • Possession of a non-powered rotor enabling it to operate in an autorotation mode (one of the helicopter’s emergency modes as well). Consequently, it does not need to actively change a flight mode in case of failure (it does not need a parachute or other actively working devices). Its flight is thus inherently stable at all times.
  • Absence of a downwash during take-off or landing creating an unwanted swirling of dust.
  • Low lift-to-drag ratio that can be adjusted by construction parameters. This ability can be useful because while an unmanned autogyro cannot fly very far in the case of failure (as is the case of a conventional airplane), the flight is still safe and aircraft does not fall (as is typical for multicopter or helicopter).
