Oh dear....Once again the press have no idea of the difference between a helicopter and an autogyro.

Only the horrifying contraption with a 3 bladed wooden rotor is (or appears to be) a helicopter. The others are autogyros with a pusher propeller, and un-powered main rotor.

I doubt that Wing Commander Ken Wallis would approve of those Chinese machines, but then he is the worlds leading authority, and a thoroughly decent chap, who I've had the pleasure of meeting. Still flying in his own handywork at the age of 94....

Nor did I, until now! I just thought 'autogyro' meant 'one man helicopter'..

" Where's his Nobel for physics?"

Quite! I mean, if Obama can get one...
