Calidus GyroMotion
A tandem gyroplane that drives off the airfield and onto the road — freedom of choice in the air and on the ground.
A hybrid for air and road
AutoGyro presents the GyroMotion as the first hybrid gyroplane for air and road — the first real flying car. It combines the unique flying characteristics of an AutoGyro gyroplane with an electric road-going vehicle. In the Calidus version, that means a sleek enclosed tandem cabin you can take wherever the road leads.
Can't travel by air? Take the road instead — with GyroMotion the choice is yours. Refuel at a petrol station and fly over the traffic again. You will be admired wherever you go.
The last-mile problem, solved
Landing at an airfield is rarely the end of the journey. The GyroMotion solves every pilot's problem — you cover the final stretch to your destination in the same vehicle.
Certification status
The AutoGyro GyroMotion is currently certified only in the Czech Republic, where it can be flown and driven under a Czech certificate. The manufacturer expects EU certification and is working on approvals in more countries. Orders are being accepted now — contact us to discuss the current status and operation in Poland. Further details are available in the GyroMotion brochure and from AutoGyro's Czech partner: gyromotion.eu.
