Magni M-24 Orion

The Magni M-24 Orion is an Italian sport autogyro, seating two side-by-side in an enclosed cabin.

Transparent, top hinged doors on either side give access to the two seats, which are slightly staggered to make the most of the cabin width.

[1] An 85 kW (114 hp) Rotax 914ULS flat four engine is mounted at cabin-top height and drives a 3-bladed pusher propeller.

The Orion has a tricycle undercarriage with the faired mainwheels, fitted with brakes, on spring cantilever legs.

[1] The Orion was first seen in public in August 2008 and a pre-production run of 10 aircraft was initiated that autumn, with full-scale production starting in 2009.
