Off course you guys are right about the gyros!

I should have specified Helicopter...

 

The Russian VAZ engines where installed in Police Ladas, but VAZ stopped making them.

I understand Mistral is on the way to cut a Deal for their 3-rotor and a Helicopter maker in the Ukraine.

 

I was more referring to any "Experimental"-Helicopter-Rotary-Rotorhead.

SOme may recall, my latest infamous run-in with PL about his photos, taken off someone else's motor mounts. These where about a Helicopter (under development) with a rotary.

I didn't hear anything yet of this effort coming through, I hope they make it!!

PS: It seems it becomes a regular trick to put a turbine into a Rotorway airframe.

Maybe someone put a Rotary into one?

 

 

 

TJ,
Your wait was over a long time ago.
Many years ago there was a Rotary powered Gyrocopter flying.
I believe the owners name was Jim Mayfield or something like that.
His engine was supplied by Dave Atkins.
I also heard that it accumulated 1000's of hours as it was used for
training.
Anyone have more info on this?
Jim
