How does a gyrocopter fly because the airflow over it's "wing" is
going up.




They're gliders. The same rules apply.


Bertie

I agree the same rules apply, but they aren't gliders unless the
engine craps out.


Fair enough, but the wing is behaving in exactly the same way.

Bertie

Of course.

The wings of fixed-wing aircraft behave the same way whether they are gliders
or powered.

Nope. The lift/drag vectors are different as the AOA
changes. The rest of Bernoulli/Newton still apply. For helicopter and
autogyro blades, the lift/drag vectors are similar except that in
autorotation there are propeller and autorotative regions of the
rotor.
