From Autogiro to Gyroplane: The Amazing Survival of an Aviation Technology
ISBN: 9781567205039 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet the gyroplane was safer and more stable; both aircraft should have had value in market. Why did the helicopter survive and prosper, while the Autogiro became a nearly forgotten historical footnote? Why didn't the Autogiro catch on, and why is it being revived today? This is the first book to tell the fascinating 80-year history of today's gyroplane and its...
