And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

An autogyro (from Greek αὐτός and γύρος, "self-turning"), also known as a gyroplane or gyrocopter, is a type of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift
Got a friend that has one. It is amazing what a skilled pilot can do with one. It takes off like a plane but he can nearly land it like a helicopter. Certainly short take off and land capabilities though not as fast as a plane at cruise.
