Magni M-16 Tandem Trainer

Magni Gyro currently (2010) produces five sport autogyro models, all with similar pod and low boom, pusher engine layouts.

They differ chiefly in the accommodation: both the M-16 and the newer, closely similar M-22 Voyager have open cockpits and tandem seats.

[1] An 85 kW (114 hp) Rotax 914UL flat-four engine is mounted high and uncowled behind the pod, driving a 3-bladed pusher propeller.

[4] Most have been used as sports and recreational aircraft but some have been employed in agricultural spraying and survey work over nature reserves, traffic observation, fire prevention and photographic mapping.

[6][7] In May 2016, American pilot Paul Salmon flew an M-22 to set a new Fédération Aéronautique Internationale distance record for gyroplanes in the 500 to 1,000 kg (1,102 to 2,205 lb) class of 770 nmi (1,426 km) in 10 hours and 37 minutes, during a nonstop flight from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Longview, Texas, United States.
