The Autogyro or Girocopter is a rotary wing aircraft, it flies like an airplane but its wing is a rotor. The rotor rotates by the action of the relative wind that passes through it from the bottom up. It can be considered a hybrid between a plane and a helicopter, like a plane, its propulsion is carried out by means of a propeller, but the wings are the rotor blades. Unlike the helicopter, this rotor is not connected to the engine of the aircraft, so it rotates freely propelled by the air, thus generating the lift force. In the case of the helicopter, on the other hand, the propulsion and lift are produced in the rotor, which is powered by the engine.
