Question: Does the AirScooter auto-rotate?

Answer: The AirScooter is designed for the recreational sport flyer and as
such does not auto-rotate. The AirScooter is designed for recreational
flying at low altitude where even traditional helicopters have little
benefit from auto-rotation.

Even a gyrocopter autorotates... Unless there is some way of disengaging the
engine from the rotors, an engine failure would result in you basically
falling out of the sky rather quickly... Of particular note, they did not
mention service ceiling on their website... Hell, they don't even mention
that it can fly outside of ground effect...
