The MT-03 features a single main rotor, a two-seats in tandem open cockpit with an optional partial 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 fairing is made from composites. 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.[1]

The MT-03 was developed into the MTOsport and the fully enclosed AutoGyro Calidus.[1]

Operational history

The MT-03 was flown on a world record-setting distance flight in Australia of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

An AutoGyro MT-03 was used by Norman Surplus in his nine-year global circumnavigation that ended in 2019; the first to be done in an autogyro.[3]
