Gyroplane

Description:

A gyroplane is a type of aircraft that is similar to a helicopter, but its rotor is not powered. Instead, it relies on an engine-driven propeller to move forward and an unpowered rotor to provide lift. The rotor is kept in motion by the forward movement of the aircraft and is mainly used for stability and control.
