Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva was nearly killed in a plane crash and decided to create a device that would be able to descend safely in case of engine failure. The scientist created the aircraft in 1919.
On January 9, 1923 his first gyro made its first flight. Afterwards, people began to build them around the world and. Gyros, in some respects, are superior to airplanes and helicopters in terms of flight safety. A loss of speed is lethal for an airplane, as it falls into a spin. A gyroplane begins to descend gradually.
