AutoGyro MTO Sport

        

The MTO Sport is a factory manufactured gyroplane made in Germany using the latest in computer aided design (CAD) technology and is fully certified in Germany and the United Kingdom to the most stringent testing procedures.

In fact, the MTO 3 and now its successor the MTO Sport were the first gyroplanes ever to achieve British CAA BCAR Section T certification, one of the highest standards of certification in the world!

There have been over 1000 aircraft sold world wide and their popularity continues to grow due to their renowned safety, clean aerodynamic lines and high enjoyment value.

With the MTO Sport, its not all play either, it is ideally suited to aerial observation roles, photographic sorties, or in daily service for pilot training. In fact there are a number in Australia that are used in agricultural applications due to their STOL capabilities and dramatically reduced running costs when compared with helicopters!

The MTO Sport is also used by Government agencies in Europe for traffic observation duties, search and rescue coordination other important roles.

Because of the low running costs, the MTO Sport has untold potential for use in emergency situations such as bush fire and flood observation, The MTO Sport can operate from just about anywhere and the are many examples round the world and especially in Europe where skis or floats have been routinely fitted.

 

Design of the MTO SPORT

There are many well thought out design features which make the MTO-Sport highly durable with a long life expectancy and that set the best selling MTO Sport apart from its competitors and just some of these are;

• The MTO Sport airframe is manufactured from high grade TIG welded stainless steel which is electro-polished to give it amazing durability and a handsome shine as well making it easy to inspect and maintain.
• The MTO Sport is powered by the reliable industry-standard Rotax 912 ULS aircraft engine, which provides excellent performance. Of course, the Rotax 914 Turbo is also available as an option giving even better performance.
• The tail unit, nacelle, propeller and the main landing gear are manufactured from high quality composite materials.
• The rotor system is extruded from aviation-grade aluminum with a NACA 8H12 airfoil section.
• The hub bar is reputed to be one of the strongest designs around and is exclusive to the MTO Sport and in fact used in all aircraft manufactured by Auto-Gyro Germany.
• The MTO Sport is the first aircraft to gain approval under the German regulations for ultralight autogyros. The strict German noise regulations ensure that the MTO Sport is very quiet.
• Superb quality factory construction and finish.
• Wide range of standard color options.

With its modern styling and high performance, the MTO Sport turns heads wherever it goes and there is no shortage of takers for trial introductory flights commonly known as TIF’s. The smiles say it all – it is probably the most fun you can have with your pants on!

In 2007, four MT 03′s (the predecessor to the MTO Sport) circumnavigated Australia – the first gyroplanes ever to achieve this. The trip took the four pilots just 15 days to complete and in the combined effort they accumulated over 400 hours of incident free flight time and covering more than 50,000km on the journey.

The advantages of the MTO Sport over conventional fixed-wing aircraft

• Open cockpit fun while remaining well protected from wind and rain.
• Turbulence has little or no effect – no bouncing around!
• Minimal take-off distances (typically 50 to 150 metres).
• Very short landing distances.
• Wide speed range, with a very low minimum speed safely possible.
• An MTO Sport costs around 10% of the cost to own and operate a helicopter yet can accomplish 90% of what a helicopter can do. Unlike a helicopter an autogyro cannot hover, take off or land vertically.

Just how good is it? Over 1000 aircraft have been sold world wide and the MTO Sport has deservedly earned an enviable reputation for its design excellence, performance and enjoyment value, so whether you are flying cross country or enjoying a relaxing local area flight, the MTO Sport is the gyro for you!
