Description

Fairey Rotodyne: A Revolutionary Design Ahead of Its Time The Fairey Rotodyne was a British compound autogyro designed for commercial and military applications in the 1950s and 1960s. Considered an iconic project, it was believed to offer a bright future with its cheap, fast design and vertical take-off and landing capabilities in a small space. Despite being ahead of its time, there has been limited published information on the Rotodyne. This book by expert David Gibbings aims to fill this gap, providing a full, illustrated, and in-depth history of the aircraft. Its features remain highly valued today, with many still in demand from organizations such as NASA. This book offers a long-awaited comprehensive look at the Fairey Rotodyne, shedding light on its design, development, and enduring legacy.
