A unique lightweight aeroplane-helicopter hybrid is set to stun crowds at South Ayrshire’s air show in September.
Council chiefs have announced that Peter Davies in his Calidus Autogyro will join the line up for The International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight.
The autogyro, which is part aeroplane and part helicopter, is a fascinating aircraft whose rotor blades are not powered by an engine but are actually spun by the passing wind as the autogyro moves through the air; powered by the propeller on the back.
