Pure craftsmanship – Made in Germany
Every MTOsport is crafted with characteristics that combine aesthetics, functionality, and elegance.
The MTOsport 2017 tandem seated model is probably the best in the world. Stunning to look at and stunning to fly. Smooth, low vibration, fast, comfortable, and economical, this is a machine to envy. Yet it is a real workhorse too.
The rugged stainless-steel airframe withstands the rigours of day-to-day work, proven in 20 years of service. Maintenance is easy, with fast removable cowlings, giving quick access to the low-maintenance Rotax 915 or 916 series engines.
The Aluminium rotors, chosen for robustness and reliability (composite rotors tend to suffer in high and low temperatures, and suffer rain erosion), chop through whatever the weather throws at them.
AutoGyro is rightly proud of its safety features. Not only are the occupants well protected by 4 or 5-point harnesses, tested and proven to world-class standards, but also protected by multiple detail safety systems, like dual oil pressure warnings, fire warnings, dual coolant temp warnings, dual fuel warnings, multiple radio fitment, ADSB… This is where the years and years of AutoGyro experience count.
In today’s world, there is always a need for paperwork. The MTOsport 2017 carries many local country approvals and is unique in the gyroplane world in carrying a full standard category of airworthiness. So, whether you buy the standard generation or the certified generation, you know you are buying a safe, proven, and world-recognised aircraft.
This is why the Turkish Jandarma chose AutoGyro as their aircraft supplier for their aerial gyroplane fleet.
