I feel the article lacks the theory of operation of an autogyro, i.e what causes the rotor to rotate when the prop drives the machine forward on the ground, in the air, and what causes the rotor to provide lift. Also a bit could be said about the effect on forward motion on the lift provided by the advancing and retreating rotors and the consequences for stable flight. I would love to contribute these myself but sadly am too ignorant. Mike Avison, 11/12/10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.14.13.8 ( talk) 08:58, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
First, what is the normal takeoff distance for a modern autogyro, and what is considered a short takeoff? Also, how noisy is an autogyro, compared to a helicopter? JDZeff ( talk) 18:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
W. C. Fields flies an autogyro in the movie International House. If any more appearances of this machine are in movies, books, comics, etc. there can be a section for that. I am reluctant to add only one item. Wastrel Way ( talk) 14:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
