Definition
An aircraft that uses an unpowered rotating rotor blade above its fuselage to generate lift while forward motion comes from an engine-driven propeller.
Etymology
From auto- (self) + gyro (Greek gyros 'circle/rotation'). Invented by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in the 1920s, combining the concepts of self-propulsion with rotational lift—the name emphasizes the rotor's independent, self-spinning nature.
Kelly Says
The autogyro was the wild middle-child of aircraft: it had the vertical takeoff dreams of a helicopter but the forward speed of a plane, and it actually worked—Cierva's invention proved you could safely land on a dime, which is why it's still used by stunt pilots and journalists today.
