AutoGyro Calidus Gyroplanes for Sale
The AutoGyro Calidus is one of the world's most popular enclosed-cabin gyroplanes, manufactured by AutoGyro GmbH of Germany — the global leader in modern gyroplane design. The Calidus combines the unique flight characteristics of a gyroplane — inability to stall, slow minimum flying speed, exceptional short-field performance — with an enclosed cockpit providing weather protection and comfort previously unavailable in the category.
Key Specifications
- Engine — Rotax 914 UL turbocharged, 115 hp
- Seats — 2 side by side, enclosed cabin
- Max cruise — approximately 180 km/h
- Range — approximately 700 km
- Takeoff run — as short as 50 meters
The Calidus features a fully enclosed side-by-side cockpit with a large canopy and excellent all-around visibility. The proven pre-rotation mechanism allows rolling takeoffs from remarkably short distances. In the event of engine failure, the autorotating rotor ensures a controlled descent and safe landing — one of the gyroplane's most valued safety characteristics.
Who Buys the AutoGyro Calidus?
Sport pilots seeking a unique flying experience, private owners who value exceptional safety characteristics, and pilots from fixed-wing or helicopter backgrounds discovering gyroplane flight. The enclosed cockpit makes the Calidus especially popular in Northern European markets where weather protection is important. The gyroplane rating required to fly it is obtainable in most countries with a modest training investment.
