Sport Copter 2

Made of bolted dural tubes and a carbon fiber shell, the Sport Copter 2 is a fully enclosed autogyro with removable doors and side-by-side seating for two.

The prototype was powered by a 160 hp (119 kW) Subaru 2.2-litre 4-cylinder engine, but was subsequently upgraded to the Lycoming IO360.

[1] The Sport Copter 2 may be configured as either a standard category autogyro, requiring a pilot's license and FAA medical, or it may be configured with a smaller engine (IO320) and fixed-pitch propeller for operation under Light Sport rules.

The Sport Copter 2 is currently classified as an experimental aircraft, and is available in kit form.

Originally under development in the late 1990s as a tandem-seat aircraft, the company reported three kits had been delivered by 1998.
