Cartercopters - revolutionary Gyro

[http://www.JohnDeighton.com], this is such an inspiring video from CarterCopters. This CarterGyro Demonstrator Trainer (CGD/T) is a heavily modified Butterfly autogyro, being used as a platform to test and demonstrate Carter technologies. To enable jump takeoffs, the aircraft has been modified with the Carter propeller & the two-setting Carter prop pitch control mechanism, the Carter designed mechanical pre-rotator, and the Carter rotor with automatic mechanical pitch control. For improved safety on landing, the aircraft now has the Carter smart strut on a Carter designed main gear, and a slightly modified commercially available nose gear with more stroke and a larger tire than the original nose gear.

In the current configuration, the CGD/T will fly straight and level as slow as around 20 mph airspeed, can perform zero-roll landings, and can jump over 150 feet straight into the air. This a 3 Minute Highlight Video by Mat Recardo. http://www.cartercopters.com

Juan de la Cierva is certainly the inventor of the Gyro, but his original design concept the predecessor to the helicopter has moved on with further developments. Companies such as CarterCopters or GroenBros have simply enabled the humble Gyro to achieve even more...

I would love to have one of these and yes I also would like to know how much it is but i can see from the responses from the other comments you are NOT answering them.

[johnlds1965]

Sorry, the LLC Butterfly and other models from Larry Neale have similar technology as Carter Copters do not manufacturer, they only license proof of conept.

What was the wind speed necessary for a jump takeoff?

[johnlds1965]

Zero! Can do Jump take off at Zero airspeed!

[mbuller11]

holy shit I want one

[brent52]

what is the cost...for the basic package with motor?

[leitopeugeot]

Jajaja , la música del lobo del aire , jaja , muy bueno te felicito .

The device certainly entertaining, but I have found nothing something in it revolutionary.

Pryzhkovyj launch and vertical landing, practised the beginning of 20 centuries.
