AutoGyro is a German company that specializes in the production of gyroplanes, a unique form of aviation that combines the stability of a fixed-wing aircraft with the agility of a helicopter. The company has been at the forefront of the gyroplane industry for over 20 years, and their commitment to innovation and quality has helped them become one of the most respected manufacturers in the field. Gyroplanes, also known as autogyros, are a type of rotorcraft that use a rotor to generate lift and a separate engine or motor to provide forward thrust. Unlike helicopters, which use the main rotor to provide both lift and thrust, gyroplanes use a free-spinning rotor that is not powered by the engine. This design allows gyroplanes to take off and land in much shorter distances than helicopters, and also gives them greater stability and maneuverability. AutoGyro produces a range of gyroplanes for both personal and commercial use. Their most popular model, the Calidus, is a two-seat aircraft that is designed for both recreational and training use. With a top speed of 120 mph and a range of over 500 miles, the Calidus is a versatile aircraft that is well-suited for a variety of applications. The Calidus is powered by a Rotax 914 engine, which provides 115 horsepower and allows the aircraft to climb at a rate of 1,500 feet per minute. The aircraft also features a modern cockpit with advanced avionics and instrumentation, making it easy to fly and navigate. The Calidus is available in both kit form and as a fully assembled aircraft, and AutoGyro offers comprehensive training and support to ensure that owners can operate and maintain their aircraft safely and effectively. In addition to the Calidus, AutoGyro also produces several other gyroplane models. The MTO Sport is a single-seat aircraft that is designed for recreational use, while the Cavalon is a larger, more powerful model that is ideal for commercial applications such as aerial surveying and photography. AutoGyro also produces a range of accessories and upgrades for their gyroplanes, including custom paint schemes, landing gear upgrades, and advanced avionics packages. One of the key advantages of gyroplanes over other types of aircraft is their safety. Unlike helicopters, which can experience dangerous rotor overspeed conditions, gyroplanes have a built-in safety feature called an autorotation. In an autorotation, the free-spinning rotor continues to rotate even if the engine fails, providing enough lift to allow the aircraft to land safely. This feature has helped gyroplanes earn a reputation as one of the safest forms of aviation, and has made them a popular choice for recreational pilots and aviation enthusiasts around the world. AutoGyro has a strong reputation for quality and innovation in the gyroplane industry. The company has invested heavily in research and development to ensure that their aircraft are safe, reliable, and easy to operate. They also offer comprehensive training and support to their customers, including flight training and maintenance courses. This commitment to excellence has helped AutoGyro become one of the most respected and successful gyroplane manufacturers in the world. Another advantage of gyroplanes is their versatility. Gyroplanes can be used for a wide range of applications, from recreational flying to commercial operations. They are well-suited for aerial surveying and photography, as well as search and rescue missions and other emergency services. Gyroplanes are also used in agriculture, where they can be used to spray crops and monitor crop growth. With their unique combination of stability, maneuverability, and safety, gyroplanes are an excellent choice for a variety of applications. AutoGyro is a leading manufacturer of gyroplanes that has earned a reputation for quality, safety, and innovation. Their commitment to excellence has helped them become one of the most respected and successful gyroplane manufacturers in the world, with a loyal customer base and a strong presence in the aviation industry. AutoGyro's dedication to innovation has led to the development of several groundbreaking technologies and features. For example, they were the first company to introduce a folding rotor system, which allows the rotor blades to be easily folded back for storage or transport. This feature has made gyroplanes more practical and accessible for a wider range of customers. In addition, AutoGyro has also developed advanced avionics systems for their gyroplanes, including a state-of-the-art glass cockpit and advanced autopilot features. These systems make it easier and safer for pilots to fly their gyroplanes, and help reduce the risk of accidents and errors. AutoGyro's commitment to safety and reliability is also reflected in their manufacturing processes. All of their gyroplanes are built to strict quality standards and undergo rigorous testing before they are sold to customers. This ensures that each aircraft is safe, reliable, and performs at the highest level.

Hill Helicopters is the world's first truly private helicopter. Hill Helicopters is designing the striking HX50 from the component level up. In addition to designing a futuristic and glamorous-looking airframe, the manufacturer is developing its own 500-horsepower turbine engine (the GT50) to power the aircraft, and creating its own avionics suite (the Hill Digital Cockpit). Hill Helicopters' mission is to fully disrupt the general aviation market with a revolutionary aircraft design. Technology has advanced so much since light helicopters were last being designed that it is now possible to build a turbine engine that offers high performance at a reasonable price point – this is one of the reasons behind Hill’s decision to go this route. Piston and diesel engines were researched, but were found to be lacking. Have a look at why other types of engines proved unsuitable, and what led to the opportunity to deliver a modern, electronically controlled, efficient small turbine.

Skfly Technologies designs, builds and sells electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (E-VTOL) which, initially, will be targeting the general aviation market (GA). The Axe is the go-to training aircraft to deliver effective pilot training to facilitate the rising demand for E-VTOL aircraft pilots. With the aircrafts 2-seat side by side layout, the aircraft is perfectly suited for training new pilots. The cost of running electric aircraft is cheaper than piston or turbine aircraft. Electric motors have fewer moving parts, require less maintenance, and cheap(er) electricity means costs may fall by more than half of existing piston and turbine alternatives. The Permit to Fly regime offers more flexibility on costs and means that the Axe can be maintained and inspected, and have their Permits to Fly renewed annually, by the Light Aircraft Association. Flight training organisations are not tied into expensive service centres. The aircraft is fitted with a removable battery module which enables you to continue flying, even when the main battery has run out. This enables you to have shorter charge times on your main battery pack and quicker turnaround times on the ground. If equipped with a hybrid generator, your training aircraft is capable of competing with existing piston training alternatives. Furthermore, with removable wings, the Axe can be transported on a trailer, giving flight training organisations ultimate flexibility on where they train students. Multiple motors enable you to have redundancy in critical flight phases. If one motor fails – you can still fly safely. Compared to a single engine helicopter where there is only a single source of power, distributed propulsion is a proven safety feature. Furthermore, brushless electric motors compared to conventional piston or turbine engines have far fewer moving parts and critical components that can fail. Finally, with the Axe you can glide like a fixed wing in emergencies and have the back-up of a ballistic parachute. The Axe features 8 brushless motors with 2 per wing end. The two motors are in a single housing and both power single shaft allowing for redundancy in the motor unit. The duplex motor will produce 70 KW peak power, 50kw continuous power with a max thurst available of around 700 kg (1,400 lbs). Working with Rotron the Axe features an optional hybrid generator system to extend the range of the aircraft by charging the batteries as the aircraft flies. The Rotron rotary engine delivers an efficient and reliable solution. The hybrid unit will increase endurance by up to 2 hours, providing 50kw of continuous power with only a 55 kg all-up weight penalty.

Shuttleworth is an aeronautical and automotive museum located at the Old Warden Aerodrome in England. It is the oldest in the world and one of the most prestigious, due to the variety of old and well-preserved aircraft. The collection was founded in 1928 by aviator Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth. While flying a Fairey Battle at night on 2 August 1940, Shuttleworth fatally crashed. His mother, in 1944, formed the Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth Remembrance Trust "for the teaching of the science and practice of aviation and of afforestation and agriculture." Since then, the Shuttleworth exists to promote training and discovery in the knowledge and skills of agriculture and of aviation and automotive technology. The ambition of the Shuttleworth is to be recognized as a world-class centre for skills and experiences. It has world-class heritage; a secure rural estate; a strong College partner; an unbroken century of preserving unique heritage aviation skills; a loyal supporter base; and passionate staff and volunteers. In addition to the aircraft, the collection houses a number of vintage and veteran cars. Events include model-flying days, and once a year, there is a special flying day for schools in the area. The Shuttleworth Collection puts an emphasis on restoring as many aircraft as possible to flying condition, in line with the founder's original intention. There are typically about ten air shows per year, including evening displays and an annual Flying Proms event, which offer the opportunity to see aircraft which in many cases are the last of their type to survive, let alone existing in flyable condition. Shuttleworth is also the perfect place for a family day out. People can go and enjoy their amazing gardens, follow the woodland sculpture trail and discover a unique collection of vintage aircraft, all set in 875 acres of parkland at Old Warden Park.

PilotsTogether is a UK registered charity set up by current pilots and supporters, based in the UK. Its express aim is to ensure that pilots made redundant from UK-based airlines remain a part of our community. Pilots have never faced this level of disruption and uncertainty. There is also a common misconception that all pilots are wealthy and don’t need help. We want to make sure that they are supported. PilotsTogether's mission is to: Help them continue to pay back training loans and bills, without suffering economic hardship. Ensure that they don’t suffer on their own, that they have someone with whom they can talk. To help retain the skills they have spent so much in gaining, and learn new ones for the future and lastly to make sure they remain part of our aviation family. As PilotsTogethers we will provide financial support to formerly employed UK pilots who are facing economic difficulties. With formerly employed pilots now facing uncertain futures, many saddled with significant training debts, we will allocate donations to those who need it most so they can get through this. We will provide a range of practical support, advice and assistance to formerly employed UK pilots to help them navigate through challenges faced. This includes access to job opportunities, sim access and training assistance, career guidance and job application advice. We will provide mental health and wellbeing support to formerly employed UK pilots who need it. Wellbeing sessions and individual guidance will be provided through our network of peers and professional experts. We will make sure that these pilots continue to feel connected to their community and know that they aren’t alone. We will also raise awareness of the profession and make sure it continues to be an attractive career path for the next generation. It is critical that this crisis doesn’t deter future pilots from pursuing their dreams – and that we ensure that people from underrepresented groups aren’t deterred by the high financial barriers to entry.

Edinburgh Airport is Scotland’s busiest airport, welcoming more than 14.7 million people through our doors in 2019. We’re also the 6th busiest airport in the UK. As the place Where Scotland Meets The World, we fly to more than 150 destinations and work with 40 airlines to welcome people to Scotland and take Scotland to the world. Directly employing around 750 staff with a further 7000 across the campus, Edinburgh Airport is owned by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a leading global, independent infrastructure investor. Edinburgh Airport hasn’t always looked the way it does today. We’ve been through some major milestones on the road to becoming the busiest commercial airport in Scotland. Here’s a quick tour of our history. Our story starts back in 1916 when the Turnhouse Aerodrome opened as a World War One military base. In 1918 the airfield became the RAF Turnhouse after the formation of the Royal Air Force. It wasn’t until the start of the Second World War that the first runway was built, after which the first commercial services launched in 1947. Fast forward to the 1970s and BAA takes control of Edinburgh Airport, with the first new terminal officially opened to the public by the Queen in 1977. In the decades to follow the airport continued to grow and develop, and in 2009 a Scottish Enterprise study revealed that the airport could boost Scotland’s economy by £867 million per year. In 2012 Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) took over ownership from the BAA. This lead to new routes, improved passenger facilities, and a multi-million-pound terminal expansion. Today, we’re the busiest airport in Scotland, flying to more than 150 destinations across the world.

Birmingham Airport has over 140 direct worldwide destinations, handles over 13 million passengers each year and is located in the heart of England! Minimising the impact of our operations has always been a priority for us. That's why we operate a range of procedures and schemes to ensure we're taking all practical steps to achieve this. Take a look at our Aircraft Noise pages to find out more about what we're doing. In 2016 we published our first Carbon Management Plan, which aimed to build on efforts to reduce our carbon emissions which have seen us achieve a 40% reduction since 2013. In early 2020, we began work on an updated high-level plan to reduce carbon emissions, but during the pandemic our priorities shifted to focus on immediate and direct carbon and energy reduction measures. Taking advantage of the unprecedented fall in traffic and passenger volumes, we examined our operations and infrastructure in detail, with the aim of eliminating as much carbon from our operations as possible. And we have been successful, reducing our emissions by approximately 1700 tonnes, or by 18%, in 2020/21, compared to the previous financial year. While we expect emissions to increase in line with passenger volumes as the recovery gets underway, we are determined that many of the measures we introduced in the pandemic will be extended in the long term, creating a more sustainable operation for the future. We're also fully engaged with the industry's efforts to decarbonise, supporting our partners in IATA, Sustainable Aviation and the Jet Zero Council to decouple the growth in aviation from the growth in emissions. This is being achieved through the development of carbon-efficient airport infrastructure, the introduction of fuel efficient operations, the drive for sustainable aviation fuels and the ultimate delivery of zero-emissions aircraft. We are committed to mitigating the negative impacts of operating an Airport in a densely populated region, but our ambitions go beyond this; we want to be a force for good by investing in the wellbeing of those communities impacted by our operations, many of which are in real need. Our ‘30-30-40’ policy targets investment into areas suffering from high levels of deprivation. We aim to ensure that 30% of all of our Community Investment, both direct and in kind, is directed towards east Birmingham, 30% towards north Solihull while the remaining 40% supports communities in other areas impacted by our operations. Air Quality in the area surrounding the Airport is affected by a wide range of emission sources, the most significant of which is road traffic pollution from local roads and the motorway network. However, Airport operations cause emissions which can also impact local air quality. Our aim is to ensure the Airport does not cause Air Quality emission exceedances in the region, and to work proactively to reduce emissions at the Airport.

In 1930, British aero engineer and aircraft builder Richard Fairey paid the Vicar of Harmondsworth £15,000 for a 150-acre plot to build a private airport to assemble and test aircraft. Complete with a single grass runway and a handful of hastily erected buildings, Fairey’s Great West Aerodrome was the humble precursor to the world’s busiest international airport, Heathrow. During World War II the government requisitioned land in and around the ancient agricultural village of Heath Row, including Fairey’s Great West Aerodrome, to build RAF Heston, a base for long-range troop-carrying aircraft bound for the Far East. An RAF-type control tower was constructed and a ‘Star of David’ pattern of runways laid, the longest of which was 3,000 yards long and 100 yards wide. Work demolishing Heath Row and clearing land for the runways started in 1944. However, by the time the war had ended the RAF no longer needed another aerodrome and it was officially handed over to the Air Ministry as London’s new civil airport on 1 January 1946. The first aircraft to take off from Heathrow was a converted Lancaster bomber called Starlight that flew to Buenos Aires. The early passenger terminals were ex‑military marquees which formed a tented village along the Bath Road. The terminals were primitive but comfortable, equipped with floral-patterned armchairs, settees and small tables containing vases of fresh flowers. To reach aircraft parked on the apron, passengers walked over wooden duckboards to protect their footwear from the muddy airfield. There was no heating in the marquees, which meant that during winter it could be bitterly cold, but in summer when the sun shone, the marquee walls were removed to allow a cool breeze to blow through. By the close of Heathrow’s first operational year, 63,000 passengers had travelled through London’s new airport. By 1951 this had risen to 796,000 and British architect Frederick Gibberd was appointed to design permanent buildings for the airport. His plan saw the creation of a central area which was accessed via a ‘vehicular subway’ running underneath the original main runway. The focal point of Gibberd’s plan was a 122ft-high control tower. There was also a passenger terminal called the Europa Building and an office block called the Queens Building. By 1961 the old terminal on the north side had closed and airlines either operated from the Europa terminal (later renamed Terminal 2) or the Oceanic terminal (now Terminal 3). Terminal 1 opened in 1969, by which time five million passengers a year were passing through the airport as the jet age arrived with Boeing 707s, VC10s and Tridents taking travellers from Heathrow to and from all parts of the world. The 1970s marked the decade when the world became even smaller thanks to Concorde and wide-body jets such as the Boeing 747. As the decade drew to a close, 27 million passengers were using Heathrow annually. Demand for air travel also created the need for another terminal, Terminal 4, which opened for business in 1986. Today Heathrow is the world’s busiest international airport and the hub of the civil aviation world. Over 67 million passengers travel through the airport annually on services offered by 90 airlines travelling to over 180 destinations in over 90 countries. By the time Heathrow celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006 it had handled around 1.4 billion passengers on over 14 million flights. The start of operations at Terminal 5 in March 2008 marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Heathrow. The brand new Terminal 2: The Queen's Terminal opened for business on 4 June 2014. The first airline to move in was United Airlines.

Gatwick Airport began life in 1930 as the Surrey Aero Club, a small flyers club, used exclusively by flying enthusiasts - however it did not stay this way for long. Four years later Gatwick was licensed as a public aerodrome, intended to provide regular air services to Paris and act as a relief aerodrome for London Croydon Airport. In this year Gatwick also gained its first scheduled flights – Hillman’s Airways to Belfast and Paris. The descendants of Hillman’s Airways still fly from Gatwick; though you might know them better as the company they later formed a part of - British Airways. Today, they have been joined by roughly 56 airlines flying to 228 destinations and carrying over 45 million passengers. We’ve come a long way since the 30s. Take a look below to see the key points in our journey from private aerodrome to RAF base to the busiest single-runway airport in the world. London Gatwick became an aerodrome back in the 1930s, but the airport we know today was officially opened on 9 June 1958 by Her Majesty The Queen. Over the last 60 years our airport has grown from just 186,000 passengers to over 46 million passengers in 2019. However, the global pandemic in 2020 saw international travel restricted and our passenger numbers fall to 10 million for the year.
