Hi, Im Rosco and i'm from Perth,ummmmm,, oh yeah in the CAO's issued by CASA and ASRA it states that gyroplanes (are they the same as gyrocopters?) have a ceiling of 500 feet and can go no lower than 300 feet except certain circumstances...So are gyros like totally limited to around 1 square kilometre in all directions, or what , cos i wanted to learn to fly so i could fly to tafe and work and stuff...I had a handle on life but it broke off...

In aviation, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask! -
Gyrocopter I understand was the name, term, whatever, that was actually OWNED by a Mr Benson. The name gyroplane was an attempt to get around that problem.???????? I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time. RRDC

As I understand it Russell you are right. To get around the trade name Gyrocopter, "Gyroplane" was adopted, which was probably a more correct term anyway. (Greek- "Guros" = rotation, and plane = flying surface or wing, hence "rotating wing". Technically we do not relate to "copter" which I think has its origins in the ability to take off and land vertically and hover - probably one of Dr Bensen's dreams. The Word Gyroplane is now the accepted name used by all aviation bodies and is recognised as such in the Oxford Dictionary.Tim McClure

Bensen may have produced the design we fly today (open frame pushers), but I think the credit for the actual invention should go to cervia.L.Magner
