The early ones I'm thinking of go back to the late 1920s / early 1930s.

A modern one on a similar theme: Little Wing Autogyros, Inc..

Those machines look very strange to me.
In Germany, we´re more used to the machines from AutoGyro:
AutoGyro - Home


Although I don´t really know their specific safety record, a friend who´s flying one of them, is always telling me about their performance (W&B-wise) and cost compared to "real" helis.


Maybe in summer I will take the chance and fly with him. ;-)
