Aircraft

The aircraft is a state of the art gyrocopter, the Xenon from Celier Aviation.

For start the propeller in the rear of the aircraft generates slip stream. The rotor is only powered by the slip stream. In case the motor stops during the flight the rotor rotates like a maple seed in the so-called auto rotation mode, only driven by the wind. The gyrocopter can fly, swim in water with floats and drive like a car like Little Nellie´s kick start on the road in "James Bond - You Only Live Twice". Click here.
