Product info
Undoubtedly one of the most spectacular products of the post-war British aviation industry, the distinctive Fairey Rotodyne was a revolutionary large compound gyroplane that held great promise for both worldwide inter-city air transport and numerous military applications in the late 1950s.
The impressive-looking Rotodyne featured jet-powered main rotor tips that were used for vertical take-off and landing, hovering and transition to forward flight, before a pair of Napier Eland turboprops were engaged for forward flight.
Despite successfully completing over 350 test flights, only a single prototype was built before the withdrawal of government funding tragically consigned the Fairey Rotodyne to the aviation history books.
