Can a gyroplane take off vertically or hover?

0

Most gyroplanes require a runway for takeoff but can land with a zero to 20 foot (6 m) landing roll. A few custom-built gyroplanes have “jump takeoff capability,” meaning they can jump 25 to 50 feet (7.5 to 15 m) high to take off. No gyroplanes can hover because their rotor blades are not powered.
