About the experience
Experience the extraordinary with our unique aerial gyrocopter adventure! This one-of-a-kind experience allows you to take control of a hybrid aircraft that combines the best of a helicopter and a fixed-wing plane. Originally developed in 1919 by Juan de la Cierva, gyrocopters have stood the test of time due to their unmatched agility and simple yet effective design. Our modern gyrocopters are dual-controlled twin-seater aircraft with a tandem layout, providing you with the opportunity to sit in the front and assist with start-up procedures while enjoying the best views. Utilizing the phenomenon of autorotation, gyrocopters can maintain full control at surprisingly slow speeds and even hover in the air with a headwind, offering you a truly unique flying experience. During your gyrocopter flight, you will be equipped with a flying suit and a helmet with radio communications to interact with your experienced gyrocopter pilot. Rest assured, our gyrocopters are factory-designed and built MT03 Gyroplanes, fully approved and maintained to CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and manufacturer standards, with all our gyro pilots holding CAA Instructor ratings to ensure your safety throughout the flight. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or someone looking for an unconventional yet thrilling adventure, our gyrocopter experience in Rochester is guaranteed to captivate your interest.
