Now here is an interesting machine.

How is the power delivered through the flimsy looking "swingarm" to the rotor? Interestinly, it states it's "technically
feasible", which sort of suggests it hasn't actually been built yet.
Which begs, 550kg all up? 213 HP? even if it's a rotary, an engine with that power is still going to weigh a fair bit.
I would want to keep the rotor going all the time...even on the road. It would certainly keep onlookers at bay and jay walkers would need to watch
out. 
It's a nice looking vehicle (craft?).
It's an autogyro so there's no need to power the rotor Rorty unless some pre-rotation is required.
Nice renderings...nice renderings but that's all it's gonna be i think.

This firm was involved in building the Carver tilting three wheeler. Some similarity in concept and technology is apparent. So, there is hope that
they might pull this on off.
