GYROCOPTERS.COM

The sport has been flying for a century. It has never had a single source. Until now.

Partnership overview for manufacturers, schools and organizations in the United States

The opportunity

120,000+ searches / month, US

That is how many people in the United States look up gyrocopter and gyroplane information every month. Not one site answers the whole question. Manufacturer sites talk only their own aircraft. Forums assume you already fly. The FAA's own handbooks were written with airplanes and helicopters in mind, and a rotorcraft that needs no runway and cannot stall gets whatever falls out of that.

We built the source that was missing.

Why this exists

Passion and community first.
Commerce second.

Gyroplanes have been flying since the 1920s and have never had their moment. Our aim is to build a genuine community around this aircraft: sharing the safety record honestly, the training path clearly, and the experience of low, slow, open-air flight with a generation that has not discovered it yet.


That ordering is not a slogan. It decides what we publish. We refuse to invent a statistic, soften a safety fact, or sell a placement in a comparison. The directories, the ground school and the reference material stay free whether anyone ever pays us a dollar, because a site people cannot trust cannot grow the sport either.

Inside the site, part one

The Marketplace

A real buy-and-sell directory for gyroplanes, browsable by condition, price band and manufacturer, with no commission taken on a sale.

List for free
Factory new, used, project aircraft or kits. No fee to list, no commission taken on a sale, ever.
Browse by what matters
Condition, price band and manufacturer, not a single undifferentiated wall of listings.
Dealer network
A dedicated directory of dealers and professional sellers, separate from private owners.
Financing, honestly explained
What a lender actually asks for, and a calculator that runs on the buyer's own numbers, not a marketing average.

Inside the site, part two

The Gyrocopter Finder

A short questionnaire, seven questions, that scores every published model against a buyer's actual answers: experience, crew, cockpit, mission, and field conditions. Every point awarded traces back to a real spec on file. No spec on file means a caveat, never a guess.

Built for lead generation
Each result carries a "Get a quote" and "Learn more" action straight to the manufacturer, turning a browsing visitor into a real, qualified enquiry.
Answers the question a spec sheet cannot
Not "what exists" but "what fits you": a tandem trainer for instruction, an enclosed cabin for touring, a turbo engine for hot and high fields.
On the homepage, not buried in a tools menu
The finder sits directly below the live marketplace on the homepage, the first thing a new visitor is invited to actually do.

Inside the site, part three

The training network, and the library behind it

Flight Log articles: sourced, vetted, never invented

CFI, flight school and DPE directories sit alongside the reference material, and a side-by-side comparison tool lets a buyer put any two published models against each other on real specifications. We say plainly what we have verified and what we have not, because a directory that will not admit the difference is not one worth trusting. That policy is the closest thing this site has to a review: we do not score aircraft against each other by opinion, we publish what is checkable and let a buyer judge it themselves.

Why manufacturers partner with us

Visibility that a buyer already trusts

  • Every model page carries real, sourced specifications, the kind a serious buyer compares before they ever call a dealer.
  • Editorial integrity is the whole product. Placement in a comparison is never for sale, which is exactly why a recommendation here means something.
  • Your brand and model pages exist free, whether you join or not. Membership gets you direct control of your own data and priority on spec sourcing.
  • An audience actively deciding, not browsing idly: people searching gyrocopter questions are, on average, closer to a purchase than a random impression ever is.

A limited founding role

Founding Partner

A limited number of founding places for the manufacturers and organisations who join early enough to shape where this goes.

  • A seat on the Board of Advisory
  • Named as a Founding Partner on the association page
  • Everything in the Manufacturer tier

Advisory means advisory. The Board of Advisory advises and has no binding authority over AAERO LLC. It cannot direct editorial coverage, cannot move an aircraft's position in a comparison, and cannot overturn a certificate or approval check. Founding terms are not yet fixed and are discussed directly, company by company.

Let's build this together

More pilots.
More instructors.
More of the sky.

Every generation after ours deserves to discover what this aircraft actually feels like. Join us in building the source that gets them there.
