Q1Read the following passage carefully.
1. A hybrid between helicopters and gliders, gyrocopters are set to make their
debut in India in the next couple of months. This smaller, lighter and quieter
version of the chopper will perhaps be the answer to the country's traffic
problems. The catch? They'll cost approximately the same as a luxury car – a
stellar Rs 30 lakh onwards.
2. World over, gyrocopters are used for border security, coastal area
surveillance, road patrolling and agriculture crop spraying. According to
Rishabh Mehta, managing director of the company that's bringing
gyrocopters to India, "While individuals can also buy them, it could take up
to a year for licensing and security clearance since the government has
tightened aviation rules post 26/11."3. So what makes a gyrocopter so exciting? For starters, they can fly very low,
only a few centimeters above the ground at a very low speed, about 30
kmph unlike a helicopter which cannot fly low and slow at the same time.
Gyrocopters are also much less expensive and need very little landing
space unlike a glider. Like a helicopter, the gyro needs an engine for the
initial thrust. Later, the engine cuts off and it's the direction of the wind that
makes it sail like a glider. However, unlike a helicopter, it cannot take-off and
land vertically.
4. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to
formulate a separate category for gyrocopters in India. "We don't want them
to operate in a city with a high population, or around a VIP or defence area,"
says a DGCA official.
