Aerodynamic principles involved in design and operation of this craft are discussed; all Autogiros so far have standard airplane fuselage, landing gear and tail unit; rotating system of supporting surfaces in place of wings; ailerons are separate organs carried on each side of fuselage; blades in addition to rotating, move up and down; speed of vane system constant; auxiliary drive being developed will allow spinning up of rotating wings directly by main engine.
