The SkyCruiser Autogyro SkyCruiser is a series of Hungarianautogyros designed and produced by SkyCruiser Autogyro KFT of Inárcs. It was publicly introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen airshow in 2014. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
The aircraft fuselage is made from composites and has a two-bladed rotor with a diameter of 8.4 m (27.6 ft) and an electronic pre-rotator. The aircraft has a gross weight of 560 kg (1,235 lb).[1]
The design features an automatic propeller system. When the electronic pre-rotator for the main rotor is engaged the pusher propeller automatically goes to flat pitch and creates no thrust. When the pilot moved the control stick aft to take-off the propeller automatically goes to best climb setting.[1]
In 2011 an improved version was introduced called the SC-200 "New Face", with aesthetic changes, including a more rounded cockpit fairing and wider cockpit seating. The original model was then renamed the "SC-200 Standard".[3]
