HOW SAFE IS THE SUPER GENIE? WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF ENGINE FAILURE DURING FLIGHT?
The first major safety feature is that an AUTOGYRO / GYROPLANE CANNOT STALL, like an airplane will. If the engine quits entirely, the free rotating rotor acts like a parachute, in fact, it is better than a parachute. Since the rotor is not powered anyway, the Super Genie can land under full control, just like normal landing. Descending keeps the rotor turning and you can get about 4000 feet of horizontal distance for the loss of every 1000 feet of elevation. The second major safety feature of the Super Genie is that it can land like a helicopter, in a very short distance, you just don’t need to find a runway – just enough space to accommodate your rotor span, you won’t go taxiing into something on landing.
