Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesperson Peter Gibson said gyrocopters had a lot of appeal......
....Mr Gibson said they were a simple aircraft and a generally safe option.
"It's got a propeller or fan at the rear of the aircraft that gives the propulsion forward and the top blade … is not powered by the engine, it's powered effectively by the effect of the aircraft moving forward the air," he said.
"They won't aerodynamically stall if you lose forward propulsion, they basically sink slowly to the ground, so they're a safe little aircraft to fly.
I did'nt think i would read a quote like this from a CASA spokesperson.
