The cyclogyro is an idea conceived in 1909. It would take a few decades before the idea would turn into reality, with its first flight happening in the 1930s. Unfortunately, when scientists realized that the cyclogyro is too unstable for a human to pilot, <a href="https://hackaday.com/2021/08/06/cyclocopter-flies-with-eight-spinning-horizontal-wings/" class="on">the idea was shelved</a>, and scientists would only begin to explore the idea again in recent years. Thanks to today’s technology, researchers are now able to create small-scale versions of the cyclogyro — or as it is now known, the cyclocopter. In this video, Nicholas Rehm demonstrates the capabilities of his small-scale cyclocopter, and he explains the concepts behind its flight. Unfortunately, the cyclocopter breaks by the end of his video. It’s still a cool concept, nonetheless. (Image Credit: Nicholas Rehm via YouTube)
