A gyrocopter, also known as a gyroplane or autogyro, is a helicopter-airplane hybrid, offering many of the benefits of both & several of its own. It's rotor is driven by aerodynamic forces rather than an engine powered propeller & many consider it among the safest aircraft you can fly. Despite sharing the same basic controls as a fixed wing aeroplane
- stick, throttle, & rudder pedals, gyrocopters are incredibly nimble & there's manoeuvres a gyrocopter can make that other aircraft must not try. Unlike most other forms of flight a gyrocopter provides unrestricted views & flies slow enough & low enough to allow you to see what is happening on the ground below. There is nothing quite like the wind in your face as you fly at one with the world. This is a thrilling & unique experience perfect for any adrenaline junkie & we defy you not to have the 'gyrocopter grin' plastered on your face. After a short introduction & familiarisation with the aircraft, you will be fitted with flying suits, crash helmets & head sets. Next, its time to take to the skies. You will fly at around 800ft in the gyrocopter which will last for Approx. 65 minutes. If you wish you will have the opportunity to take the controls & fly the gyrocopter for yourself. Otherwise you can sit back & enjoy the spectacular view.
