The Apollo Gyro AG1 is a Hungarian autogyro produced by Apollo Ultralight Aircraft of Eger and introduced in 2012. The aircraft is supplied ready-to-fly.[1]
The aircraft features a carriage built on a welded stainless steel frame, with a fiberglass composite streamlined fairing, dual-controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. The rotor is of aluminum alloy and includes a pneumatic pre-rotator.[1][2]
The powerplant options include the four cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engine, or the 115 hp (86 kW) turbo-charged Rotax 914 engine.[1][2]
Originally an open-cockpit design with dual windshields, in 2013 a bubble canopy was introduced as an option. It weighs 20 kg (44 lb) and can be installed in five minutes.[1]
