Overview
AutoGyro GmbH (known in English as AutoGyro Limited) is a German manufacturer of aircraft headquartered in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony. The firm focuses on designing and producing autogyros, delivering them as fully assembled, ready-to-fly machines.
The company has achieved notable commercial success with its innovative designs, which feature a mast-mounted system to reduce vibrations. Their models with enclosed cabins, such as the AutoGyro Cavalon and AutoGyro Calidus, are distinguished by their highly streamlined fuselage fairings. The open cockpit model, the AutoGyro MT-03, is regarded as a leading product in its category and is marketed in the UK under the modified name RotorSport UK MT-03. An evolved variant of this model is the AutoGyro MTOsport. Additionally, the British distributor RotorSport UK offers a customized version of the Calidus known as the RotorSport UK Calidus. As of 2014, AutoGyro GmbH manufactures approximately 300 aircraft annually.
A remarkable achievement includes an MT-03 completing a record-breaking distance flight in Australia, covering 1,263 km (785 mi).
In 2013, AutoGyro introduced the world's first electric-powered autogyro, the eCavalon.
