Building an autogiro involves several key steps: First, design the airframe to support both the rotor and the propulsion system, ensuring it can withstand aerodynamic forces. Next, construct the rotor system, which includes a rotor hub, blades, and a means for autorotation. Then, integrate the engine and propeller for thrust, along with necessary controls for stability and maneuverability. Finally, conduct thorough ground tests and flight tests to ensure safety and performance before regular operation.
Cierva Autogiro Company was created on 1926-03-24.
An autogiro is an aircraft in which lift is provided by unpowered rotating wings and thrust is provided by a conventional propeller.

A Spanish inventor is Juan de la Cierva. He invented the autogiro. He was born in 1895 and died in 1936.
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.
She hit an altitude record for an autogiro, a forerunner of a helicopter- at l8,4l5 feet, this was computed from theodolite observations from the ground.
"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."

Anything can be used as a war machine, but the autogiro - an aircraft that combines all the disadvantages of both the helicopter and the airplane into one vehicle - isn't one you'd really want to use.
