  1. Interesting fact: There's an aircraft called an AutoGyro or gyroplane. They're basically airplanes that don't get their lift from fixed wings, but by rotary wings on autorotation alone as part of their normal operation. They have a large swamp boat-like propeller on the back that keeps the aircraft moving forward. The blades are not attached to the engine and provide lift by autorotation alone.
