Designed to be cheaper to operate and faster to respond to emergencies than a helicopter, the Bushwhacker Autogyro is powered only by a twin-cylinder Boxer engine and has room for a pilot, an array of medical and rescue supplies, and a passenger or a patient on a stretcher (barely).
- Capable of extremely short take-offs and vertical landings, especially if the main rotor is still moving (touch-and-go)
- AG1 drops a small medical / rescue kit.
- The Trim slider tilts the main rotor, use it like flaps to flare before landing or as a trim slider for level flight.
- Toggle the landing gear to flip the wheels to skids for vertical landings.
- Can climb almost vertically from take-off and practically hover at 75% throttle with a 35 degree pitch.
- Land vertically by reducing power to around 60% and pitching the nose up to scrub the forwards momentum, then float down vertically.
- The cockpit is rudimentary because I'm bad at interiors, sorry.
