What is the difference between a helicopter and a gyrocopter?
Anyoption
A helicopter's rotors are all powered, and a helicopter is capable of hovering. A gyrocopter is pushed forward by a powered propeller. However, the main rotor atop isn't powered by the motor - it's the wind which makes it spin, and that acts as the gyrocopter's wings.

Is an FAA helicopter license all you need to fly a gyrocopter and a Tiltrotor?
No, you need an actual gyro plane license. However, if you already posses a helicopter license, the gyrocopter license is considered an add-on, since they are both in the same category, being rotorcraft. This implies you will not be required to do another written exam. Of course you will need ground instruction, as well as flight time in the gyro before your actual checkride.
