The gyrocopter was invented by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in an attempt to create an aircraft that could fly safely at low speeds. He first flew one on 9 January 1923, at Cuatro Vientos Airfield in Madrid.

The Gyrocopter is designed as a reliable, well-controlled and safe type of transport for high-speed air displacement.

All over the world, air vehicles Gyrocopter are used for expeditions, hunting, fishing, sightseeing flights, advertising, aerial patrolling, pilot training, gas pipelines and electric power lines control, policing, plants biodefense and low-altitude aeronautical works, animal research in nature reserves, business trips to different places, ambulances and other purposes. The operation capability is from +50 to -35 ° C on the ground with a heated cabin.
