2.8 GENERAL DATA
The M24C Plus is a single engine, two-seat gyroplane. Its primary structure is steel and the
fuselage is made from carbon fibre.
The airframe has three main sections:
− The forward fuselage
− The aft fuselage
− The tailplane
The forward section of the fuselage contains the pilot compartment and fuel tank. The two
seats are side-by-side in a staggered configuration to maximise comfort.
The gyroplane is equipped with a fixed, front tricycle landing gear.
The power unit is a piston engine in a pusher configuration driving a four-bladed propeller with
ground adjustable pitch.
The tailplane is made of composite material. The tailplane consists of a fixed horizontal
stabilizer with three vertical fins of which the central fin is subdivided into a fin and rudder.
The rotor, tailplane and main undercarriage are made of composite material.
The tailplane has a fixed horizontal stabilizer with three vertical fins of which the central fin is
subdivided into a fin and rudder.
There is a baggage compartment inside the cockpit, under the right seat cushion.
