China's first fully designed gyroplane takes flight https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/1ac6ad98-fc9a-4a87-b0cc-7c011f6011d4 China achieved a breakthrough in aviation when the country's first fully independently designed autogyro completed its maiden flight in Yantai, Shandong Province, on April 28. The aircraft flew smoothly for more than 38 minutes, demonstrating stable handling, precise control, and reliable performance across its power, rotor, avionics, and flight control systems, all of which met design and airworthiness expectations. Unlike earlier models that relied on imports or licensed technology, this milestone marks China's entry into the self-reliant development of light autogyro aircraft, filling a key gap in the sector and advancing both core aviation technology and certification standards.
