CA 2132839

An autogyro (10) has a teetering semi-rigid rotary wing (28) with rigid rotor blades (30a, 30b). The blade pitch of the rotor blades (30a, 30b) is fully adjustable in flight and varies along the blade length. A prerotator (100) rotates the rotor blades (30a, 30b) up to takeoff speed at minimum drag, no lift and optimum engine efficiency. Engine power is disconnected from the rotor blades (30a, 30b) and their angle of attack is changed for optimum lift. Rotor blade pitch is adjusted during vertical landing. In flight, rotor blade angle of attack is varied to adjust autorotation, lift and drag at any flight airspeed. On the ground, the rotary wing (28) is braked to prevent rotation. The autogyro (10) may roll, pitch or yaw, with complete independence of blade pitch with respect to all other relative motions. The pedals (61a, 61b) have disproportions forward and backward motions.
