What makes a Xenon so stable and safe to fly?
Specifically, from a flight safety standpoint, we are very impressed with the handling and flight characteristics of the Xenon Gyroplane designs. The Xenon Gyroplane exhibit airplane-like control and stability at all flight speeds. The standard models, in standard configuration, are capable of stable and comfortable flight speeds of up to 100 kts. We believe the Xenon Gyroplane design is highly resistant to PIO (“Pilot Induced Oscillations”) or PPO (“Power Push-Over” or “bunt-over”). There have been no reports of such events, and these machines are regularly flown at cruise speeds of 90kts+. At the same time, skilled Magni pilots can demonstrate the superb low speed maneuverability and qualities for which gyros are so popular. The Xenon Gyroplane designs are the result of innumerable iterations and flight tests to harmonize the many factors that influence the flight characteristics of an autogyro.
