For the simplest possible reason:

An auto gyro is always flown in autorotation, with fixed plade
pitch set for 'gliding'. If you apply torque to an auto rotor,
you do not get lift, you get propelled groundward.

G'day Terry,

Are you saying that autogyro's have negative pitch on their rotor
blades? If so, you are wrong.

If that's not what your saying, I apologise. I have misunderstood your
meaning. Could you please explain this statement?

Cheers,


Phil

I was wondering about that myself!
