MTOagric/terminator

Written by CA on 24/02/2023. Posted in AUTO-GYRO-PRO-MODELS, MTOagric/terminator.

Proven technology is the basis for the MTOagric/terminator. The integration of off-the-shelf solutions together with the proven MTOsport 2017 aircraft assures a smooth and reliable working system.

AutoGyro engineered the rugged ‘Agric’ version in about 2016, developed this into the more advanced 2017 model, and then to the ‘terminator’ version in 2021.

The ‘Agric’ is built on the AutoGyro platform concept by fitting the MTOsport with a full pesticide delivery system mounted on the rear seat frame, releasing pesticide via a 10m boom system. An engine-driven pump ensures a reliable delivery at just the right pressure and flow rate, and in just the right geospatial position when twinned with the AgNav system.

The ‘terminator’ is a ‘hardened’ version of the ‘Agric’ designed to handle the challenges of spraying large insect infestations, such as locusts. It is a tough machine, built to withstand the associated hazards of flying within a swarm.

Included is an onboard pilot clean-air breathing system. a hardened windscreen. backup and redundant flight instrumentation and hardened air intakes, engine cooling systems, and other features. Pilot safety is our paramount interest.

What is the benefit of using a gyroplane? Pesticides are expensive, so the correct application is key:

A fixed-wing aircraft is about 60% efficient in delivery due to the delivery height and speed. But can cover large areas.

A helicopter is about 85% efficient due to the lower delivery height, but uncontrolled dispersal due to rotor downwash. A helicopter is also fuel-hungry and can be an expensive operation.

A gyroplane is about 95% efficient because it has no rotor downwash, flies slowly, and delivers the spray in the right spray density where needed. A short field landing area provides easy and fast access to a pesticide replenishment point. An appropriate sensor array used during the initial crop survey enables utilizing the collected data for precise spraying in the corresponding areas.

Gyroplanes are ideal for targeted spraying where spray accuracy is key, and the optional Agnav system takes care of the dosing in flight – and precisely adjusts the spraying to your speed and position. The MTOagric can spray quantities ranging from 1 to 40 liters per hectare.

Targeted spraying also includes specific pests such as locusts, where limited pesticide is required, and accurate delivery is essential. Perfect work for the MTOterminator.

A gyroplane delivers precisely targeted delivery at low operational cost. They do not necessarily replace helicopters or fixed-wing spray aircraft; gyroplanes operate alongside these alternative delivery systems depending on the task requirements.

Main application areas:

Crop spraying on the highly precisely defined area.
Precise pesticide dosing based on the GPS intelligent link to the spray control.
Hardened version for use in Locust control, utilizing special equipment for flight within locust swarms.
It is possible to fit floats to enable over-water or swamp operations (e.g., mosquito control).

MTOsport Pro

Written by CA on 24/02/2023. Posted in AUTO-GYRO-PRO-MODELS, MTOpro.

Introducing the MTOsport Pro version of the AutoGyro MTOsport aircraft, compliant with UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements for a UK Standard Category Certificate of Airworthiness. This ICAO-compliant certificate is recognised across the globe, and AutoGyro is the only company in the world with this level of gyroplane certification.

This certification permits the aircraft to conduct any approved and equipped paid aerial work. It is valid, especially in Europe, where a Certificate of Airworthiness is necessary. Examples of such work include air taxi, carriage of goods, surveying, police and fire service duties, and much more.

The MTOsport Pro aircraft are equipped with a certified Rotax 915 or 916 iSc engine and a constant-speed Woodcomp propeller, ensuring optimal safety and reliability. These aircraft can be supplied either with a UK registration and Airworthiness Certificate, ready to fly under a UK PPL or CPL licence, or with a Statement of Aircraft Conformity for local country acceptance.

Certification includes day and night VFR, and IFR capability.

Most countries, where legislation permits, would recognise and verify the aircraft certification via their systems and award their equivalent. In cases where that is not practical and subject to local aviation legal limitations, the aircraft can undertake aerial work under a UK registration.

This certification is equivalent to any other certificated aircraft, such as a Cessna or Airbus, ensuring the highest level of safety and compliance for professional use. So, if you’re looking for a reliable and compliant gyroplane for your professional needs, look no further than the MTOsport Pro.

MTOclassic

Written by CA on 24/02/2023. Posted in AUTO-GYRO-MODELS, MTOclassic.

The ubiquitous MTOsport has been the mainstay of the AutoGyro fleet since production started in 2003. Now renamed the MTOclassic to differentiate it from the later 2017 model, demand for this much-loved machine remains very strong around the world – even after some 20 years of production.

The MTOsport tandem seat gyroplane is probably the best known in the world. With thousands in service, most gyroplane flight schools either own one, operate one, or used them at some point in their existence. Not only are these aircraft great looking, reliable, and easy to maintain, but most importantly they are amazing fun to fly!

Can you imagine the enjoyment to be had when flying in the elements, high in the air? Here is your chariot to take you there.

The rugged stainless-steel airframe withstands the rigours of years of service, and because no paint is needed, incredibly easy to inspect even after thousands of hours and decades of years in service. Maintenance of MTOclassics is easy, with no cowlings to remove, and easy-service Rotax 912 or 914 series engines,

The Aluminium rotors, chosen for robustness and reliability (composite rotors tend to suffer in high and low temperatures, and suffer rain erosion), chop through whatever the weather throws at them.

Robustness and reliability are key features of the MTOclassic. AutoGyro is rightly proud of its safety features. The MTOsport 2017 provides excellent protection with well-tested safety harnesses and multiple safety systems. This is where the years and years of AutoGyro’s experience count.

In today’s world where regulations are critical, there is inevitably a need for paperwork. The MTOclassic has multiple local country approvals across the world, as factory built and kit-built aircraft. Irrespective of paperwork, the AutoGyro MTOclassic is an established and internationally acknowledged safe aircraft.

This is why the Turkish Jandarma chose AutoGyro as their aircraft supplier for their aerial gyroplane fleet!

Whether you are flying for leisure or have a specific purpose in mind, such as running a flying school, or simply flying for fun, AutoGyro offers a wide range of aircraft packages tailored to meet your needs.

MTOfree

Written by CA on 24/02/2023. Posted in AUTO-GYRO-MODELS, MTOclassic, MTOfree.

The MTOfree is unlimited freedom. It shows you the world from a different perspective and gives access to nature‘s great vastness, unknown cultures, or remarkable animal realm, realizing astonishing one-of-a-kind experiences.

Are you ready to feel freedom with every fibre of your body? Do you wish to see the beauty and wilderness of our world? The MTOfree will take you there. Experience the purest way to fly and enjoy the difference!

AutoGyro offers two versions of the MTOfree.

The original no-frills MTOfree is based on the MTOsport classic and is the most simple and open version that AutoGyro makes. The body is replaced by an instrument nacelle, a basic front seat fitted, and the rotor head position adjusted to take account of the centre of gravity change. Large tundra tyres can be fitted for that real ‘off-road’ country flying capability too.

This is flying in its most basic form and fun too. There is nothing quite like flying an almost completely open gyroplane, an experience guaranteed to leave you with an AutoGyro grin!

MTOfree’s are not for long-distance or high-speed flights; it’s breezy without windshields! So, for those pilots or passengers who want to still get the open-air feeling, AutoGyro developed the MTOsport 2017 to enable it to be flown without the body side panels fitted. This means that the occupants get more wind protection, and yet still get the open air feel and yet can still travel longer distances at higher speeds.
