		Although the gyrocopter appears to be designed like a helicopter, and also behaves like one in the film, they actually require a runway for takeoffs and landings - they cannot ascend / descend vertically.
		A gyrocopter is basically just powered by your standard car engine, many of the Mad Max 2 era gyrocopters would have been using a VW engine or similar.
		The primary gyrocopter, the one which actually flew, survived the film intact, and was sold at the post film auction, as happened with many of the vehicles and other items.

		The gyrocopter was found between 3 and 3:15 p.m., about 150 yards near a power line, behind Dubois Road homes.
		There were 19 fatal gyrocopter accidents reported to the FAA between 1996 and 2001.
		Coy said gyrocopter pilot’s must have a license and abide by FAA standards and regulations.

		While the gyrocopter won't stall or spin, it does not means it is "foolproof".
		Gyrocopters and cars are powerful vehicles that can easyly go up to 150 Km per hour, but the difference is that the gyrocopter has a better safety record than cars and they also have a better safety record than factory built fixed wing airplanes.

	Gyrocopter (Warhammer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Warhammer Fantasy world, a Gyrocopter is essentially a small, steam powered helicopter, capable of carrying a dwarf into combat.
		Gyrocopters are designed to be as light as possible in order to attain flight.
		Gyrocopters are lightly armoured and rely on speed and maneuverability to stay out of trouble.

	Autogyro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whereas a helicopter works by forcing the rotor blades through the air, pushing air downwards, the gyrocopter rotor blade generates lift in the same way as a glider's wing by changing the angle of the air as it moves upwards and backwards relative to the rotor blade.
		Later autogyros, such as the Bensen B-8M gyrocopter, generally use a pusher configuration for simplicity and to increase visibility for the pilot.
		The Bensen Gyrocopter was adapted directly from the Hafner Rotochute and Focke-Achgelis Fa 330A-1 "Bachstelze" autogiros of World War II.

		A gyrocopter or gyroplane is not a well know aircraft in Canada but is flown a lot in Europe.
		The gyrocopter is an hybrid between an helicopter and an airplane.
		To obtain a gyroplane, gyrocopter pilot license, you need to fly 45 hours of which 12 hours are in solo flight and you must accomplish 30 takeoffs and landings.

	Michael's Gyrocopter Page
		Gyros, gyrocopters, or gyroplanes, are perhaps the most misunderstood aircraft.
		When designed properly, and flown by a pilot with the proper training, they are VERY SAFE; yet over the years they have developed somewhat of a bad reputation, due to poor design by some kit manufacturers and builders, and people with little or no training trying to fly them.
		The rotor blades on a gyrocopter are not connected to the engine, they use air moving upward through the blades to keep them spinning, or "autorotating".

	Couple's survival of gyrocopter crash 'a miracle' - National - theage.com.au
		The cockpit of the gyrocopter that crashed near Bendigo yesterday remained largely intact despite the rest of the aircraft disintegrating on impact.
		Pilot Christopher Williams, 47, and his wife Jennifer, 46, were believed to have been on a joy-flight when the gyrocopter crashed on their property at Lockwood South, near Bendigo, about 10am yesterday.
		John Williams said his brother Christopher was certified to fly gyrocopters, but was not a professional pilot.

	Bensen Gyro-copters and Gyro-gliders (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In the 1950s Bensen Aircraft Corporation exploded upon the sport aviation scene with their ground-breaking "Gyrocopters" and "Gyrogliders." When the brilliant engineer behind this success, Dr. Igor Bensen, introduced the B-7 Gyroglider (1955), its unprecedented simplicity of design and ease of flight captured the public's imagination.
		The gyroplane (or "gyrocopter" or simply "gyro") is essentially a helicopter-airplane hybrid, offering many of the benefits of both and several of its own.
		Once control of the glider was mastered, the craft was convertible to the engine-powered gyrocopter.

		Levitation achieved by tilted powered rotating frisby attached to center pole, and acting as wing of airplane, or as upper rotor on gyrocopter.
		Note: as opposed to a gyrocopter, here some power is needed to make the frisby turn, more like a helicopter, except that much less power is needed, since the rotation has only a minor effect on the levitation.
		That was exactly what lead De Cavier to make the Gyrocopter defying all the skeptics.
