Prepare to be bored, reader, That odd looking aircraft there is a late 1920's - early 1930's Pitcairn-Cierva Autogiro. They are brilliantly designed and can land and take off in extremely short distances and fly very efficiently, much more so than the planes of the time. Unfortunately, they were generally untrusted by the public because the big helicopter rotor on top is unpowered, the rotation comes from aerodynamic forces alone. This means they can't hover, or take off or land vertically. This photo being from April 1935 means it might be one of the last to feature an Autogiro at work, as a helicopter design was finally made successful in this year. Autogiros were designed to land and take off from rooftops to deliver mail, and for aerial photography, which is probably what is happening here, because of their excellent low-speed stability. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
