You may be wondering, what is a gyrocopter, autogyro, or even rotorcraft? Well all of these names actually refer to the same aircraft. This aircraft is different from a helicopter, because to top rotor isn’t powered by a engine. The engine in back of the gyro, pushes it forward, allowing wind to rotate the top rotor, giving it lift. This is quite an amazing concept, but yet quite simple. Igor Bensen invented one of these so called gyros, and early spectators bet it wouldn’t fly, but sure enough it did. "Wow was it a sight" they said, how something so simple could obtain lift. He is in mind, the creator of it all.
