__NOTOC__ The Kay Gyroplane Type 33/1 was a 1930s British single-seat autogiro design by David Kay.〔 ==Design and development== David Kay had first flown an autogiro (the Type 32/1) in 1932 but it was damaged in early 1933 and not repaired. Kay then designed a larger single-seat autogiro, the Type 33/1 and contracted Oddie, Bradbury and Cull Limited of Southampton to build two fuselages.〔 The first autogiro, registered ''G-ACVA'', first flew on 18 February 1935 from Eastleigh Airport.〔 The second autogiro was not completed.〔 Following the last flight of G-ACVA on 16 August 1947 at Perth Airport (Scotland) at Scone, it was stored there for many years. It was then refurbished at Scone in 1967 and loaned to the Museum of Transport, Glasgow.〔 The autogyro was then purchased from the Kay family by the National Museums Scotland and is on display in the main museum building in Chambers Street, Edinburgh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kay Gyroplane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
