A powered version of the autogyro (using an internal combustion engine) which is capable of hovering like a liftwood flyer.

Note:  The calculated speed of the helicopter is 298 km/hr.  However, the Space 1889 speed is only 72 km/hr.  I took this to be the cruising speed of the helicopter, which makes its maximum speed 96 km/hr.  All calculations are based upon the Space 1889 speed in keeping with the spirit of that game.
