#gyroplanes

please be aware of autogiros/gyroplanes they look so cool and weird, especially the older ones.

I'll try!

Underrated Transformers Alt-modes:Gyroplanes

•Before the war they were mostly worked in delivering delicate stuff due to their safety features

•they were,and still are mistaken as a combination of a plane and a helicopter(kinda racist)

•they can fly in both root and Vehicle form for a long time

•the way they fly in root mode is similar to helicopter root modes(check my other post for that)

•they had slightly more freedom than others but were mostly pressured by cybertronion society to fit into the mold

•in Vehicle mode they are actually very flexible and can manage various environments,now in the present most Gyroplane Alt-modes are studying to become rescuer's in tight spaces,key word:most,not all

•they were stereotyped as predecessor of helicopters which could be considered racist in cybertronion standards

•in Root mode only their wings can be mistaken for helicopters,there is most likely kibble on their frames that can obviously tell them apart

•they consume less energon than other frames

•before the war they were mostly just viewed as a Modified and Efficient version of a helicopter

•whenever there's an argument between Helicopter frames and Gyroplane frames it's mostly one sided,but I never said which one hated which one hehehehheehehge

•old Gyroplanes in the entertainment industry are depicted as a weirder looking version of helicopters

•old Gyroplanes act nonchalant most of the time but if you annoy them too much there will be consequences

•they used to get along with other Alt-modes that worked in delivery like trains and planes, sometimes delivery trucks or vans,maybe drones

•They had no standard optic colours and could range from any

•the same could go for their servos,clawed,blunt,anything at all

They're called autogiros, gyroplanes, gyrocopters, and rotaplanes. But when a NY Times reporter saw them for the first time, he described them as "airships resembling dragonflies" and "windmill planes." In this photo, the airships fly, flit and hover over the Battery.

"No stranger craft are ever seen in the sky," The Times wrote on November 16, 1930. "They are neither helicopters nor airplanes, but some of the merits of both. They can fly slow or fast, they can almost stop in the air, and they can rise from a small space and land in it."

Juan de la Cierva of Spain invented the autogiro in 1923. Seven years later, when this photo was taken, the whirlybirds were in the news often. Amelia Earhart took a passenger up in an autogiro in Willow Grove, Pa., and an autogiro flew across the English Channel. One inventor in 1930 predicted that most airplanes of the future "would be autogiros or something better," and would travel 200 miles per hour and carry seven tons.
