MTOamphib
Fully amphibious tandem gyroplane — take off and land on both land and water.
An amphibian with tandem seating
The AutoGyro MTOamphib is an amphibious gyroplane combining impressive performance, versatility and safety. Powered by a Rotax engine, it takes off and lands on both land and water — no change of undercarriage required. Lightweight construction and intuitive handling make it easy and rewarding to fly.
Built for the water
The unpainted stainless-steel airframe and stainless-steel fastenings are easy to inspect and free from corrosion. A robust airframe and modern avionics provide a high level of safety, while the true 360-degree view makes the MTOamphib an excellent observation platform over the sea and inland waters. Multiple radio systems can be fitted for combined aerial and marine communications.
