The Air Command Commander Elite is an American autogyro that was designed and produced by Air Command International of Caddo Mills, Texas. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a conversion kit for the earlier Air Command Commander.[1]

As of 2012 the design is no longer advertised for sale by the company.[2]

Design and development

The Commander Elite improves on the original Commander in that it has raised landing gear that positions the engine thrustline vertically at the center of gravity, which eliminates changes in pitch with throttle changes. The gyroplane was designed to comply with the US Experimental - Amateur-built rules. It features a single main rotor, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, tricycle landing gear and a twin cylinder, two-stroke, liquid-cooled, dual-ignition Шаблон:Convert Rotax 582 engine in pusher configuration.[1]

The aircraft's Шаблон:Convert diameter Rotordyne rotor has a chord of Шаблон:Convert. The rudder and tailplane are made from carbon fibre. The Commander Elite has a typical empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

Operational history

By December 2012 ten examples had been registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[3]
