"Gyroplane" is the official term used to describe an aircraft that lifts off from a freely turning rotary wing, or rotor blades and derives its thrust from an engine-driven propeller. The gyroplane is also known as the autogiro or gyrocopter.
A Gyroplane flies more slowly than airplanes and will not stall. They fly faster than helicopters but cannot hover. Since only the air powers the rotor blades on the gyroplane, there is no need for a tail rotor. The gyroplane is a stable flying platform. This is not so with helicopters, which pull the air down through engine-powered rotor blades making it possible to hover, but also making the aircraft very complicated and expensive to fly. Due to the Gyro's simplicity, they are easier to operate and less expensive to maintain than helicopters.
Gyroplanes lift off from freely turning rotor blades tilted back to catch the air. The rushing air spins the rotor as an engine-driven propeller thrusts the aircraft forward. The original gyroplanes were powered by engines in a pulling configuration and were heavier. Today's gyroplane uses a pusher propeller and are light and manoeuvrable. The engine is in the rear allowing unobstructed visibility.
