Though an Autogryro may resemble a Helicopter, they work differently. A helicopter uses a powered shaft to turn it's wings, which are called rotors. These rotors provide lift for the craft and also give the helicopter it's momentum through air.
The autogryro uses un-powered rotor blades for lift in what is called auto-rotation together with an airplane style propeller to provide the forward thrust. The combination of the propeller pushing the craft forward causes air to flow over the curved top surface of the rotor, which is spinning because of the air pushing up under it, and the air over the top of the rotor produces the lift.

Was an autogyro an early helicopter-like plane or an early computer?
An autogyro - is/was a helicopter-like plane.
Is an autogyro different than a helicopter is corectly written?
In an autogyro, the main rotor is freewheeling, it is not powered as in a helicopter.
How the rotor is made to turnin a helicopter and in autogyro?
In the helicopter it is turned by the engine, through the transmission. In autogyro it rotates freely with forward movement
Is helicopter includes autugyro?
No, helicopters do not include autogyros. The autogyro has wings and an engine for forward movement.No, helicopters do not include autogyros. The autogyro has wings and an engine for forward movement.
Who invented the autogyro and why was it invented?

How the rotor is made to turn in a helicopter and in an autogyro?
do your coursework yourself lazy womble
To clarify things your friend identified the craft as an autogyro viewing a post card of one Craft had stub wings or booms possibly for spraying crops?
I did find an autogyro that is used for crop dusting. See link: http://www.oskbes.ru/205_e.htm
What is an autogyro?
An autogyro looks like a helicopter with a rotor blade on the top of the fuselage but it also has another propeller in back to push it. The autogyro uses the air passing UP through the rotor blade to turn the main rotor blade and give it LIFT. So it needs something to provide THRUST to propel it forward. An autogyro can NOT take off vertically and go straight up. Instead it must have a take-off roll to get it flying. The main rotor of a helicopter is more complicated and it produces both LIFT and THRUST. Their controls are more complicated and the loads on the blades and blade attachments and the rotor Mast. The Autogyro's blades turns due to air passing through it just like a maple seed "flys" with its single wing as it falls from the tree. Since the main rotor of the Autogyro does not produce a vertical Lift, that means the Mast of the rotor does not carry a torque load. The Mast only supports the weight of the Autogyro. Whereas, the Mast of the Helicopter is experiencing Torque loads and Bending loads(for some types of helicopters) as well as Tension forces by the weight of the helicopter.
What was little Nellie in James Bond movie?
It was an armed autogyro and featured in "You Only Live Twice".
How is the rotor made to turn the helicopter and in an autogyro?
The rotor turns on top of a vertical shaft from the transmission
What is the difference between a helicopter and an autogyro?
A helicopter gets its lift from the powerplant turning the main rotor. An autogyro's main rotor is unpowered and simply windmills when the aircraft is propelled forward by the propeller. Since this is the case it is not possible for an autogyro to hover for more than a few seconds. Autogyros can takeoff and land in very short distances though, and are capable of very low speeds. Whereas helicopters are very sophisticated machines and can be very difficult to operate autogyros are much simpler mechanically and are very easy to control as they are inherently stable by design.
Which bond film starred little Nelly?
The 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twicefeatured the heavily armed autogyro Little Nellie.
