1. autogiro

   An autogiro, also known as a gyroplane or gyrocopter, is a type of aircraft that uses an unpowered rotor in autorotation (spinning without power) to develop lift, and an engine-powered propeller to provide thrust. Unlike a helicopter, the rotor of an autogiro is driven by aerodynamic forces in forward flight, and engine power is not required to drive the rotor. This means that the autogiro can fly safely even if the engine fails, as the rotor will keep turning and generating lift. Its design allows for slow flight and near vertical takeoff and landing.
