very curious hybrid aircraft/helikopter. Weird it is to know that during flight the rotor isn't actually powered. Some weird machines those autogyro's but in fact safe machines.

Dammit science! Make us one of these again! I'm sure it could get some design touchups to make it more attractive and aerodynamic. I'll agree with capnjonas in saying it could own the V-22.

The reason that this was cancelled is that the rotor on the top was powered by FUCKING ROCKETS ATTACHED TO THE END!

It's a damn shame that these things never caught on. That's an amazing thing, the rotodyne.

For all its technical merits, that thing is hideous-looking. Appearence really does count, and I don't think any one would want to travel as a passenger on one. It just wouldn't have caught on.

Also, airports are kept out of city centers for a very good reason.

Holy SHIT.

I wish I knew enough about aerodynamics to appreciate this.

You don't need to know anything to truly appreciate AWESOME like this.

Easy, so when it's on the ground, it can be moved to a hangar easier to keep it out of the weather & for maintenance. Plus a 'Rolling Takeoff' is more efficient.

I just wanna know how fuel went to the engines w/ all the spinning at the rotor hub. It pwns the V-22 Osprey!

ALL HAIL BRITTANNIA!!!
