HTC, the producer of the MT03 Gyroplane in Germany has announced some new developments:
Kai.
- The next model will be called MTOSport and will, for the first time I believe, deviate in base construction from the original frame. The mast will be tilted more forward, the seats more reclining, all leading to better aerodynamics and cowling attitude at high speed.
- Besides the normal 8.4m (27.7') rotor there will be an 8m (26.4') sports model. The cruise speed will be increased from 162 kph (100mph) to 185kph (115 mph). This rotor is only recommended to advanced pilots, I presume it is much more sensitive and also requires higher landing speed. (This also is an interesting answer to my "more speed" thread).
- An in-flight adjustable prop from Ivo will be available.
Kai.
