Performance of Leonides powered prototype Fairey Gyrodyne which established British national speed record; characteristic feature of design is to put only enough power into rotor for sustentation and to rely on propeller for translatory flight; this not only makes for smoothness of flight but also increases safety, as pitch of rotor is always within auto-rotating range.
