Whirlwind™ Autogyro

107k Alisuchanka  6.9 years ago

The Whirlwind Autogyro is an civilian twin rotor autogyro designed by S.E Industries. As you can see, those rotors are not powered and can't fly vertically, instead it can take off like a conventional aircraft. The pusher propeller was powered with 1250hp inverted V-12 engine, located at the back of the plane, which is made of light materials like titanium, and the whole fuselage and the rotor's support struts is made of silver and iron. The plane design is comparable of that the Mil V-12 Homer but its an twin autogyro. BTW a BIG thanks to Alienbeef0421 for creating me a logo of S.E Industries!

Features:
~Unpowered main rotors as like the real thing
~Fairly slow speed

Have fun and Merry Christmas!
