Question

what are some of the key areas where gyrocopters can be very useful
​

Answer 1

Safety is the most important feature of the gyrocopter, it is equipped with a rotor that auto-rotates freely due to the effect of the relative wind and is not connected to the engine in-flight. The dreaded event of an engine stopping poses no problem as the gyrocopter glides and lands easily without the use of an engine.

In fact, in the training course the student must always land without the engine and, quite unlike an airplane, when the aircraft reaches the floor the touchdown requires almost no speed.
