Avian Gyroplane
The Avian 2/180 Gyroplane was a two-seat, single engine autogyro built in Canada in the 1960s. Several prototypes were built but production was not achieved.
==Design==
Avian Aircraft was started by Peter Payne and colleagues from the Avro Canada company specifically to build a modern autogyro.〔
The Gyroplane was a two-seat autogyro without wings, with a ducted fan pusher propeller driven by a 200 hp (150 kW) Lycoming IO-360 piston engine. It had a three bladed rotor, formed from bonded aluminium. There were flapping hinges but no drag hinges.〔 In normal flight the rotor was undriven, but the design team were keen to enable vertical jump starts, an autogyro technique which spins up the rotor before take off without forward movement over the ground. The first prototype used conspicuous tip jets fed directly with compressed air from a fuselage mounted cylinder.〔
The fuselage was built on a light alloy box beam which carried the cabin, engine mounting, rotor pylon and propeller duct. The well glazed cabin seated two in tandem in front of the engine. Entry was via a starboard side door; dual controls were fitted. Yaw was controlled with a rudder mounted within the propeller duct, enhancing its low speed effectiveness. The Gyroplane had a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The main wheels were mounted on steel cantilever legs and the nosewheel castored.〔
