Autogyro CAVALON Aircraft

The AutoGyro Cavalon is an enclosed side-by-side gyrocopter for buyers who want open-light-aircraft fun with more cabin comfort than tandem or open-frame gyroplanes. It is a niche aircraft, so the real decision is training, rotorcraft-specific maintenance, registration category, and local support rather than comparing it to fixed-wing LSAs. Compared with a small two-seat airplane, the Cavalon offers a different rotorcraft experience with different weather, speed, and training expectations.
