Magni M-21
The Magni M-21 is a compact Italian gyroplane developed for recreational flight. Like other Magni designs it combines a pusher propeller with an autorotating rotor, avoiding the complexity of a helicopter’s powered main rotor. Limited series production makes it uncommon outside specialist gyroplane communities.
