Russian Gyroplanes (Russian: Гиропланы России) is a Russian aircraft manufacturer based in Zhukovsky, Moscow Oblast. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft, as well as and hovercraft. The company was founded in 2007.
The company has two autogyros in their product line, the single-seat Gyros-1 Farmer and the two-seat Gyros-2 Smartflier, both aimed at the aerial work market, with roles including aerial application, courier, forestry patrol, search and rescue, geological survey, air taxi and flight training.
The company has also developed a two-seat hovercraft design, the Gerris, powered by a German Hirth 3701ES two-stroke aircraft engine and capable of 130 km/h (81 mph).
There is a different design ethos between Russian and European autogyro designs: Europeans are sleek and lightweight, with modest size engines using pusher propellers (or ducted fans); Russian gyroplanes are by contrast agricultural and heavy-duty, with large engines driving tractor propellers.
