The TENSOR gyroplane opens up an entirely new market segment between helicopters and fixedwing aircraft. The TENSOR gyroplane will win customers where extremely short takeoff and landing characteristics (XSTOL) at lowest operating costs are required. The takeoff distance is only 86 meters (ISO conditions, sea level, no wind and MTOW = Maximum Takeoff Weight). The landing distance under the same conditions is only about 15 meters, which is about the diameter of a helipad. Due to its wide speed range from 30 kts (VSO = Maximum Normal Operation Speed) to a maximum of 130 kts (VNE = Never Exceed Speed) and the principle of permanent autorotation, TENSOR gyroplanes are also among the safest and most flexible aircraft available. The Tensor Gyroplanes are designed for three possible applications: professional use, personal mobility and cargo transport.
