A gyrocopter is a helicopter-airplane hybrid, also known as an autogyro or gyroplane, combining many of the benefits of both forms of air travel plus some of its own! Many consider it among the safest of aircraft, with its rotor driven by aerodynamic forces instead of an engine powered propeller. Although it shares the same basic controls as a fixed wing aeroplane - stick, rudder pedals and throttle - gyrocopters are incredibly nimble and can do manoeuvres other aircraft cannot even attempt. A gyrocopter also offers unrestricted views and flies low and slow so you can see what is happening on the ground beneath you. A unique and thrilling experience ideal for any adrenaline junkie!

Beginning with a welcome and short introduction you will then be familiarised with the aircraft and fitted with your flying suit, helmets and head set. Once strapped into the gyrocopter you will fly at approximately 800ft for around 65 minutes. If you're feeling brave enought you can take the controls to see how these unique machines handle. If not then just sit back and enjoy the amazing views below.
