Cran,
I am not trying to get gyros over helicos or other.
Consider this as a poll. I am amazed of the reactions, i can see a kind of bipolarity.
Cran, of course, except some attemps like Groen Brs, Mc Culloch, Barnett., It is evident that the gyros have not been manufactured enough, developed enough, sold enough.
But you can't say they don't work because they don't sell.
cheers and thank you for your opinion.
Gents,
Could I abuse and ask some questions :
I think that gyros suffer a simple but "old" design.
The bensen worked fine but isnt there a way to improve that ?
It could be linked to Ultralight Helicopters.
1 - most of the airframes are a classical building, but no modern building has been done.
2 - the rotor is still the old teetering one, couldn\'t a 3 or 4 bladed semirigid of hingeless work better, particularly for the major problem : the Negative G situations.
3 - the blade design are quite very simple, no twist, no taper, no tips. coulnd\'t they be more efficient ?
Thanks
