if this is real they have some experience flying there big boats  Commercial OperationsWith over 8000 accident and injury free Commercial hours on Gyroplanes, Wagtail Aviation is the pioneer and leader in the Commercial use of gyroplanes for the last 10 years. Wagtail started using typical recreational gyro’s in the early days and we experienced firsthand the typical cracks to the frames, pre-rotator failures, wheels exploding from fatigue and engines not getting even close to TBO before major rebuild. Over the years Wagtail was forced to upgrade and re-design the gyroplane platforms to the current Commercial machines known as Kriek, Trojan and Vlooi. These gyroplanes were designed from a clean slate to incorporate all the best features we came across and experimented with over more than 14 years.---------------------------------------- Wagtail Rotor head Wagtail Aviation’s proven 36’ rotor system is used on a host of autogyros built and modified in-house for heavy lifting and low speed operations. The hydraulic pre-rotation system has seen more than 10 000 operational hours and at least four of the systems have over 2000 hours with only belt replacement at 1000 hours and belt tension adjustment at 300 hour intervals. Wagtail Subaru Conversions More power means better high altitude performance and better load bearing capabilities. Subaru's boxer engines combined with custom Forced Induction Systems from Garret and Wagtail's in-house developed Engine Control Unit makes this the ultimate gyro pushing power train. |

I wonder why? It has just struck me that they are using tractor designs...... I like that fact. Maybe someone somewhere in the world will resurrect tractors? I am just thinking out loud.
