Description

Gyrocopter, a pen & ink drawing create during the years I was an active private pilot, depicts an aircraft known as a gyrocopter, an autogyro or a gyroplane, and according to Wikipedia "is a type of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift. Forward thrust is provided independently, by an engine-driven propeller. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing across the rotor disc to generate rotation, and the air flows upwards through the rotor disc rather than down."
