A new gyroplane is announced. Coming from Austria, this looks really nice and the data looks impressive. I can't wait to go to the Aero this year, it's going to be a ball.

Now, that's the second gyro design -- after the Arrow-Copter -- coming from Austria. Being a small country of only 8 million people, this is a pretty good average, I reckon. :)
Come to think of it, there were others before. Like the famed gyro designer Westermeyer, who built -- among others -- a jump take-off gyro that's now on display in the aircraft museum in Wiener Neustadt....

Without wishing to poo-poo Trixy's achievements, it looks a bit like a more-rounded Calidus cabin on an MTOsport airframe.
Nice, though!
