The Autogyro Calidus.
This is the German built tandem style Autogyro. This in simpler terms means a two seater light aircraft that needs a minimal of 50 hours flight experience before a license is issued. Its range is over 600 kilometers and thats only with 70 litres of fuel and at a cruising speed of 160 kph. This Autogyro will get you from A to B in a jiffy with near vertical landings and take offs you are not in need of runways also, its ability to fly after its engine has stopped working means it is a very safe vehicle. There is also the cost of ownership, services happen every 100 hours and at a cost of £120 depending on the provider, its much cheaper than owning a Helicopter or fixed wing aircraft. I will be getting into one of these very soon and also taking my PPL in order to fly it. The base Price for this Aircraft is £63,0000 About the same as a M5 BMW although I would choose the Calidus over a car any day. Stay tuned to find out what it like to fly in one of these...
