Uses and Purposes of Gyrocopters

Gyrocopters have been used for recreational and sport purposes for years.

In addition to this, we started to use it as a part of several professional services such as:

• Forest, coastal and border surveillance.
• Detection of fires.
• Support and link to land and sea units.
• Customs.
• Police and Army (military missions, C3I function, command and control, communications and intelligence) and counter-terrorism strategies.
• Support for civil protection.
• Tracking down of victims or fugitives.
• Air traffic control.
• Power lines inspection.
• Agricultural spraying.
• Control of livestock farms.
• Aerial photography and filming.

...and so on.

A new era begins in different sectors of aerial work with the use of gyrocopters, especially in the surveillance field, where most demand is today.

The gyrocopter is the ideal aircraft for this task  due to its  high visibility (semi-faired tandem cabin) and its wide range of flight possibilities (hover, slow and fast flight, slide). It is perfect for customs coast-watch, surveillance of steep or very large borders, drug-fighting strategies and military missions.

All these aerial works are already being carried out by our gyrocopters, being our company the leader in several countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia.

Agricultural spraying is also another booming market in which we are already partakers as we operate in several countries. Our spraying gyrocopter is exclusive in the international market as it is  the only one that is specifically designed for aerial spraying. Major sugar companies in Central America  are already using our gyrocopters to spray their fields.
