	AUTOGIRO,
		The wings of an autogiro are rudimentary or nonexistent; the lift during flight is supplied by a large, multibladed rotor mounted above the fuselage.
		The rotor of an autogiro, unlike that of a helicopter, is not connected with the engine during flight, except during takeoff in some models.
		More recent autogiros have used two main rotors that turn in opposite directions and are mounted either coaxially or at the tips of winglike struts projecting from the sides of the fuselage.

	autogiro - Encyclopedia.com
		autogiro or gyroplane, type of aircraft supported in the air by a horizontally mounted airfoil similar to that of a helicopter but unpowered.
		Most of the lift is supplied by large airfoils which are mounted horizontally above the craft and rotated by the airflow created by the craft's forward movement.
		The autogiro has fixed wings that are smaller than those of an ordinary airplane; the body and tail assembly is of conventional design.

	Autogiro
		An autogiro is a rotary-wing aircraft that uses a propeller for forward motion and a freely rotating, unmotorized rotor for lift.
		The autogiro differs from the helicopter in that the engine does not continuously move the rotor, as the engine on a helicopter does.
		An autogiro is difficult to maneuver at low speeds because they use airplane-like controls that were dependant on forward speed to work.

	From Autogiro To Gyroplane
		Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY...In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Juan de la Cierva's first flight and the 75th anniversary of Harold Pitcairn's first American flight, the Hofstra University Cultural Center is presenting the conference From Autogiro to Gyroplane, April 25 and 26, 2003.
		The conference is being presented in cooperation with the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center, the Popular Rotorcraft Association, the Cradle of Aviation Museum, the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
		The conference will also feature a museum exhibition on the Autogiro and gyroplane during the months of April and May 2003 in the David Filderman Gallery, located on the ninth floor of Hofstra's Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library.

	Kellett XO-60
		Both remained obstinate in their belief that the Autogiro, a proven technology, would be of far more use to the military in the forthcoming conflict than the largely experimental and delicate helicopters then under development.
		This caused the Autogiro to "jump" vertically up to heights of 4.6 meters (15 feet) by which time the propeller had begun to pull the aircraft forward with sufficient speed to guarantee autorotation.
		The flapping hinge, invented by Cierva to overcome the lift differential between the advancing and retreating blades on his Autogiros, was equally essential for the helicopter.

	Enciclopedia - Autogiro
		Para que durante la pre-rotación el autogiro no empezase a elevarse se dispuso de un control de colector, que mantenía las palas del roton planas hasta que alcanzaban un cierta velocidad, momento en el cual cambiaban bruscamente el angulo de ataque generando así la sustentación de golpe.
		En caso de una parada en vuelo, lógicamente el autogiro empieza a descender, pero cuanto más rápido lo hace, las aspas giran a mayor velocidad, proporcionando mayor sustentación y haciendo que el aparato descienda lentamente.
		Carter Copters que han diseñado un autogiro mixto (con alas) que pretende ser competencia para los aviones comerciales, por su capacidad de desdpegar y aterrizar en tan poco espacio que pueda salir del centro de las ciudades.

	From Autogiro to Gyroplane — www.praeger.com
		From Autogiro to Gyroplane deftly and comprehensively examines the impacts of the Great Depression and World War II upon these motorized aircrafts, as well as the simply bad business decisions, and the lessons that the fate and persistence of the gyroplane has for other old, long lasting, yet ultimately fully functional technologies.
		Charnov explains that the near-eclipse of the Autogiro was caused by a potent combination of bad luck, the impact of the Great Depression and World War II, and egregious business decisions.
		The survival of the gyroplane may be a paradigm for the persistence of earlier, less complex technologies, and its future relies on grasping its colorful history.

	AUTOGIRO BOATS - History 1870-1933
		This one, unlike the previous two, is an autogiro, which means that it is not driving a propeller - the wind turbine is being used the same way as a sail.
		This is the earliest autogiro boat that I have found, and I think that we can safely credit Lord Brabazon with the original concept of using the turbine force to drive a boat directly, since all the other people before him had only thought of using the turbine to drive a propellor.
		After all, the aircraft autogiro was only invented a couple of years earlier in 1930.

	It's a Kellett! Air Classics - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Basically, the Autogiro is a heavier-- than-air craft which derives its lift from the rotary movement of its supporting surfaces through the air.
		The Autogiro primarily differs from the aircraft in that its supporting surfaces - the blades - are free to move at a speed independent of the machine as a whole, thereby introducing flying characteristics which had previously been impossible.
		Thus, the Autogiro can takeoff at a low speed after a very short run and immediately assume a sharp angle of climb - it can fly at either low or high speeds and can momentarily be brought to a standstill in the air.

	Ikenga 530Z - History
		I was excited by the simplicity of the autogiro but also fascinated by the more complex counter-rotating helicopter configuration as a backpack aircraft; the latter being sparked by concept drawings and photos of a project I was introduced to that was underway in Sweden or Norway.
		As many of the books and magazine articles about light weight autogiros that I read over the years spoke of dangerous control problems when the fuselage blocked the airflow over the tail/rudder at lower airspeeds my intention was to address, and resolve, this problem at the outset.
		As a new and radical lightweight autogiro, the Ikenga 530Z proved itself to be a sound proof-of-concept design and began to draw the attention of potential buyers from around the world.

		Una particolarità degli autogiro è che permettono di atterrare su spiazzi di pochi metri quadrati.
		Quando saranno (finalmente) in commercio, il prezzo degli autogiro, dipendentemente dalle opzioni (monoposto o biposto, carenatura ecc.), dovrebbe essere equivalente a quello degli apparecchi multiassi, vale a dire fra i FRF 150'000 ed i FRF 250'000.
