Chris Jones Gyroplanes

Gyroplanes, Gyrocopters, Autogiros they all cover the same type of aircraft, this being a cross between a fixed wing aeroplane and a helicopter. A gyroplane needs 50 to 150 yards to take off but only a few yards in which to land, this makes them one of the safest aircraft to fly. The rotor cannot stall like a fixed wing and they are far less complicated to fly than a helicopter and so much cheaper to run.

Please note that due to the Coronavirus Kirkbride Airfield is currently closed. We will review the ongoing situation and open as soon as possible. With regard to trial flight vouchers anyone who has one please ignore any expiry date and anyone planning to buy a voucher then there will be no exipy date. Stay safe.
