Gyroplane means a heavier than air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors which rotate freely on substantially vertical axis.
Gyroplanes operates on the principle of autorotation which means its lift generating devices (rotors) are freely moving by the sheer power of the air on its aero foil surfaces which is not powered.
Since it works on autorotation principle the rotors are not power driven, if the engine goes off it will not stall and glides to land safely, moreover its design is inspired by Formula one car in a monocoque structure providing protection to the pilot and the passenger from injury on impact.
Gyroplane was first flown in 9th January 1923 by Juan de la Cierva.
Yes it can, but not yet allowed by the Civil Aviation bodies.
Yes it can fly very efficiently in turbulent winds of up to 40 knots cross winds.
Up to 5 hours with full fuel tank (84 l) & it runs on normal unleaded petrol.
As the Rotors are freewheeling and not powered by the engine, the flight behavior of this aircraft does not undergo any change thus it can gently glide down to nearby place for a safe landing.
It is around 4:1. How complex the Gyroplane is to fly? A person with a normal car driving skill, can fly it post training.
Xenon 4 XL variant of Xenon Gyroplane can carry up to 3 persons (Including pilot)
Generally, for take-off 100m max and for landing around 10m (Depending on weather too)
Highest Altitude record was set over 23000 ft. but generally it can fly up to 18000 ft.
They Started the business in 1993.
32 countries are actively using Xenon Gyroplanes for different applications and increasing.
The Cabin of the Xenon is very spacious and an engineering work of art - it is made of composite materials in monocoque technology which means that it is structurally built in one piece of material, just like Formula 1 cars.
The factory setup is in POLAND, MALTA and third one is soon to be setup in Iran
The Cabin of the Xenon is an engineering work of art - is made of composite materials in monocoque technology which means that it is structurally built in one piece of material, just like Formula 1 cars.
The Cabin is the main component of the machine. All the other components are mounted around the cabin. The main task of the cabin is to provide an enormously strong shell shape where by all other parts are fixed. This provides a huge safety for pilot in the event of an accident because the cabin is capable of withstanding the load many times exceeding the acceleration of gravity.
Yes it can be fitted with different fitments like floats for water take-off and landing, skies for snow take-off and landing, agricultural spray equipment, FLIR, land survey equipment, 3-D mapping Equipment etc.
Type approved by German civil Aviation Authorities.
Yes, we are planning for such test flights.
Yes, the Xenon Gyroplane is capable enough to carry out such applications.
As per training manual for Gyroplane under preparation by CAOI.
Yes of course, but a shorter period is needed than to get the PPL
(Privat Pilot License)
Daily inspection is sufficient.
Like most other aircraft, the gyroplane airframe has a virtually unlimited life expectancy. The rotor, propeller and engine will have a varying lifetime, depending on the manufacturer. The typical TBO for engines normally varies between 1000 and 2000 hours.
