An autogyro -- also known as
gyroplanes, gyrocopters, or rotaplanes -- is a type of rotorcraft
invented by Juan de la Cierva in 1919, Similar to
helicopters, autogyros use a rotor to develop lift.. While a helicopter's rotor
is rotated by an engine during normal flight, the rotor of an autogyro is driven
by aerodynamic forces in autorotation. An engine-powered propeller, similar to
that of a fixed-wing aircraft, provides thrust for the autogyro.
Ken Wallis developed a miniature autogyro craft, the Wallis autogyro, in England
in the 1960s, and autogyros built similar to Wallis' design appeared for a
number of years. Ken Wallis' designs have been used in various scenarios
including military training, police reconnaissance, and in another case a search
for the Loch Ness Monster.
In recent years a related concept, has been promoted
under the name heliplane; used to
market the Air & Space 18A gyroplane. The terms compound helicopter or
compound gyroplane are also used for such aircraft,. The term gyrodyne is an official aircraft class
within the rotorcraft category in U.S.; Heliplane is an advertising term.

A helicopter
is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors,
each rotor consisting of two or more rotor blades. Helicopters are classified as
rotorcraft or rotary-wing aircraft to distinguish them from fixed-wing aircraft
because the helicopter derives its source of lift from the rotor blades rotating
around a mast.
As an aircraft, the primary advantages of the helicopter are due to the rotor
blades that revolve through the air, providing lift without requiring the
aircraft to move forward. This creates the ability for the helicopter to take
off and land vertically without the need for runways.
