gyroplane definition
gyroplane means a heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors which rotate freely on substantially vertical axes;
gyroplane means a power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors which rotates freely on substantially vertical axes;
gyroplane means a rotorcraft the rotors of which are not engine driven except for initial starting, but are made to rotate by action of the air when the rotorcraft is moving, and the means of propulsion of which, consisting usually of conventional propellers, is independent of the rotor system.
