Twistair

Two seat tandem machine.

The Twistair gyrocopter is a two seat tandem machine. It is a result of many months of work of our research and design department. The project is based on hours of consulting with mechanics, test pilots and potential users. We have created a very modern – as you can call it – “motorcycle of the sky”. It is very safe and comfortable. You can feel the wind on your face; it gives you unrivaled experience in the air.
