Autogyro

The dirigible launches autogryos over New Cap City.

Autogyros are small rotary wing aircraft that patrol the skies of V-world's New Cap City.

Launched from the formidable Dreadnaught, these single-pilot rotorcraft strafe the streets of New Cap City, drezzing users (CAP: "There is Another Sky"). New Cap City gamer Tad "Heracles" Thorean was a victim of an autogyro attack during his attempt to help Joseph Adama locate his deceased daughter Tamara Adama, lost in V-world (CAP: "The Imperfections of Memory").

Notes

• The autogryo is described in materials prepared by Doug Drexler for 2010 Emmy Awards voters:

Vintage Vipers are all fine and good, but who can resist the prospect [of] a 1940s auto gyro? The New Cap auto gyro is based on the Focke-Wulf Fw 61, the first fully controllable helicoptor, first flown in 1936. It struck us that the auto gyro makes for a perfect noir metropolitan ariel conveyance that compliments the diribible and it's inventory of vintage Vipers. The model is fully rigged and weighs in at 153826.
