	CarterCopter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CarterCopter is an advanced aircraft, a combined fixed wing aeroplane/autogyro currently under development by Carter Aviation Technologies.
		The design has an gyroplane rotor mounted on top which is unpowered in flight, but it also has short fixed wings like a conventional aeroplane.
		At present, the prototype's engine is normally aspirated, and hence is limited to just 320 hp (240 kW) and the fastest Carter Aviation Technologies prototype has achieved is about 173 mph (270 km/h); which is still ~40% faster than a conventional autogyro.

		Carter's preliminary design for the PAV is similar to their current Carter-Copter prototype.
		Carter's ultimate goal for their SR/C technology is to achieve speeds at tip ratios close to 5.0.
		Carter estimates that a fast-build kit based on their PAV design with VTOL, a 1000-mile range, and speeds up to 200 mph would cost $55,000 (less engine and avionics) with as few as 1000 kits being manufactured per year.

	On The Fly...
		Carter Aviation Technologies, of Wichita Falls, Texas, said yesterday they will not attempt to break the Mu-1 barrier for rotorcraft this November, as they had announced at Oshkosh.
		Mu refers to the ratio of the aircraft's forward speed to the rotor's tip speed, which varies at a wider margin between the advancing and retreating blades as the vehicle's forward airspeed increases.
		The challenge in achieving Mu-1, according to Carter Copter, is to maintain rotor stability...

	The Carter Copter - The Next Big Thing
		Jay Carter did some math and figured out a way to make an aircraft that wouldn't need long runways, but that would be fast and fuel efficient.
		If the rotor were powered after leaving the ground, the aircraft would be a helicopter, and, as such, would need a tail rotor to keep it from spinning like a top.
		Jay Carter and his group are kind of like them, but they have carbon fiber, Kevlar, personal computers, video cameras, and sensors to record the gory details of every flight.

	Autogyro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many light gyroplane rotors are made from aluminum, though GRP-based composite blades (Sport Copter, Averso, Revolution, RAF eg) and GRP-skinned blades are increasing in number.
		Even aircraft-quality birch was specified in early Bensen designs, and a wood/steel composite is still used in the world speed record holding Wallis.
		Carter Copter - the company recently fielded a rotor that broke the important Mu-1 barrier.

		Parked the car, and started meandering towards the carter copter tent; 2 f-15's circled a couple of times in the first 10 minutes I was there.
		Found the carter copter tent, and began to talk to Austin when he looked at a schedule and discovered that the X-Cor rocket powered long-ez was scheduled to fly in the next half hour.
		Upon clearance, the corvette engine spooled up and the carter copter did about a ten minute flight, and the whole time, I was standing next to austin who knew enough about the carter copter that he could answer my questions.

		The rest of the machines were all teathered except for the carter copter.
		The carter copter IS an autogyro so it should land without an engine just fine.

	Fuel mixture - X-Plane.Org Forum
		Try looking at the Carter Copter available here by Mark Fisher - he's also got a POH that tells you how to fly it, it's not like any other gyro or helicopter out there.
		The Carter Copter is setup in X-Plane with automatic mixture & fly by wire throttle control (look under engine specs 1 menu)- it'll do a better job than you're able to at keeping the mixture set for best power
		I have been messing with the carter copter lately and found that I can't adjust the fuel mixture.

		Carter Aviation Technologies is a research and development company, pioneering new aviation concepts.
		Our primary focus is the slowed-rotor compound aircraft, a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that uses the rotor for takeoff and landing, and a small, efficient wing for high speed flight, up to 500 mph, all with much less complexity than a tilt-rotor or other vectored thrust vehicle.

		Carter Copter slow the rotor right down at high speed so the drag is then fairly tiny, and they have these stubby fixed wings they use that take over providing lift at those speeds, so the aerodynamic efficiency is much higher.
		In contrast, aeroplanes end up with a lot more wing than they need at high speeds; they need a reasonable stall speed, so that determines how much wing.
		Carter Copter doesn't use their fixed wing at stall, so the fixed wings are tiny.

		Since it's a real plane, the license is more difficult to get than an ultralight one, but it actually allows you to go places while carring a friend and some luggage.
		The Carter Copter looks pretty cool, and has a chance at being a popular car alternative, if they can get rid of all the disadvantages a typical helicopter has.
		It would need to be as easy to fly as a plane, get decent fuel economy, and not require huge amounts of maintenance.
