"It would have been virtually impossible, indeed, to have achieved any success with the idea of the Autogiro unless I had been able to calculate its basic design by mathematics before I began to build it. Success by mere experiment would been as unlikely as the successful construction of a cantilever bridge without any previous engineering experience."
She created a women's altitude record in 1928 in a Pitcairn Autogiro.
Amelia was not, strictly speaking a Commercial pilot. she may have did promotional work for non-air outfits such as Beech-Nut gum ( autogiro flights) for many years the Heath chocolate company used an autogiro as a trade mark for their Bit-O-Honey brand and this showed candy bars coming together to form the craft"s rotors. Amelia held an autogiro height record of l8,4l5 feet which still stands- in l93l this under the sponsorship of Beech-Nut. big difference between Beech nut, and say American Airlines or United.

Juan De la Cierva (21 September 1895 - 9 December 1936) was a Spanish Civil Engineer and pilot. His most famous accomplishment was the invention in 1920 of the Autogiro, a single-rotor type of aircraft that came to be called autogyro in the English language. After four years of experimentation, De la Cierva developed the articulated rotor which resulted in the world's first successful flight of a stable rotary-wing aircraft in 1923 with his C4 prototype.Resource - Answers.com
