The super-sleek Calidus is AutoGyro’s closed cabin two-seat tandem model. When it was released in 2009, it was the world’s first formally certified factory-built gyroplane of this configuration. Calidus is loved not just for its aesthetics and amazing fun to fly, but also by flight schools, for sight-seeing, and law enforcement agencies.
The sharp aerodynamics mean that Calidus is a fast cruiser, and with a fuel tank of 74ltr, has a huge range. Improved further with the latest extended range 100ltr. tank option. The huge clear canopy gives both the pilot and passenger an amazing 360view; yet keeping them both warm, dry, and comfortable.
Ventilation? Yes, and with AutoGyros normal ingenuity there are many options;
full enclosed canopy with ventilation windows
open sided canopy, where large side windows allow plenty of air access
high-headroom canopy for very tall pilots
full open top canopy
And, of course, as all AutoGyro enclosed aircraft, Calidus is fitted with a proper heater system.
So no matter where the aircraft is operating, or the season, there is a way to keep warm, or keep cool!
And this aircraft has an excellent pedigree. With over 500 released to service since 2009, AutoGyro has a huge depth of reliability experience around the world, whether operated for fun or reward. We know that the diverse operating environments around the world can be harsh for aircraft, and take pride in the ability of our aircraft to reach that standard. Backed worldwide by the AutoGyro factory and partners, you can be sure to be well looked after.
