The AutoGyro Calidus is a German autogyro, designed and produced by AutoGyro GmbH of Hildesheim. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]
The Calidus was approved in the United Kingdom in 2010 in a modified form as the RotorSport UK Calidus.[1][2]
Design and development
The Calidus features a single main rotor, a two-seats in tandem enclosed cockpit with a complete aerodynamic cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a four-cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition Шаблон:Convert Rotax 912 engine or turbocharged Шаблон:Convert Rotax 914 engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft fuselage is made from composites and is a faired teardrop shape to ensure smooth airflow over the variable pitch pusher propeller. Its Шаблон:Convert diameter rotor has a chord of Шаблон:Convert. The aircraft has an empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert. The design incorporates vibration dampers that greatly reduce the level of main rotor vibration transmitted to the cockpit.[1]
The design is noted for both its cruise speed of Шаблон:Convert and range of Шаблон:Convert. It was developed into the side-by-side configuration AutoGyro Cavalon.[1]
