The gyro is, essentially, a dead-end in aircraft development --
somewhere between helocopters and fixed-wing. Helicopters provide far
more control and performance than do gyros, which are no faster than
helos and cannot hover.


Price? Complexity? A 747 can't hover either, but has its uses. A helicopter
is slower than a 747, but it too has its uses Waht might a gyro's unique uses
be?
