Tandem Radial Tractor Composite Gyroplane (2015-2016)

Michael Fuchs Gyroplane

This project was to design and build a one-off, stable/docile, open, two-place gyro with good visibility for fun local flying and short cross country flights. After flying different gyroplanes for comparison, and months of iterative design, I built the fuselage as a seamless carbon fiber shell molded over a removable CNC milled foam male tool. The gyro is now being finished by a gyro enthusiast in Oregon.
