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,

I was wondering about that myself!

No reply from Terry? Oh well...I guess we'll have to remain ignorant,
Steve.

Cheers,

Phil

Women vs Aircraft

Aircraft don't object to a preflight inspection.
Aircraft come with manuals to explain their operation.
Aircraft have strict weight and balance limits.
Aircraft don't come with in-laws.
Aircraft don't care about how many other aircraft you have flown.
Aircraft and pilots both arrive at the same time.
Aircraft don't mind if you look at other aircraft.
Aircraft don't mind if you buy aircraft magazines.
Aircraft expect to be tied down.
Aircraft don't comment on your piloting skills.
Aircraft don't try and make you crash and burn.
Aircraft don't whine unless something is really wrong.
When aircraft go quiet, it's a bad thing.
