自转旋翼机,英文称作Autogyro(来自希腊语αυτό + γύρος,自行旋转),也常被称作旋翼飞机Gyroplane、旋翼机Rotorplane或是旋翼飞行器(Gyrocopter),是一种利用前飞时的相对气流吹动旋翼自转以产生升力的旋翼航空器。
早期自转旋翼机有着与固定翼航空器类似的机翼和前置的动力装置,拖动自身向前飞行。
Early autogyros resembled the fixed-wing aircraft of the day, with wings and a front-mounted engine and propeller in a tractor configuration to pull the aircraft through the air.
肇事直升机的飞行员具备有效的航空运输飞行员执照(直升机和自转旋翼机)和一级体检合格证明书,并拥有3,900小时的飞行经验。
The pilot held a current airline transport pilots licence (helicopters and gyroplanes) and a valid class one medical certificate. He had 3, 900 hours of operating experience.
虽然与直升机外观相似,但自转旋翼机必须依靠向上流过桨叶地气流维持旋翼地旋转,产生将飞行器维持在空中地升力以及向前飞行地推力。
While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing up and through the rotor disk in order to generate rotation.
