Calidus

The super-sleek Calidus is AutoGyro’s closed cabin two-seat tandem model. When it was released in 2009, it was the world’s first formally certified factory-built gyroplane of this configuration. Calidus is loved not just for its aesthetics and amazing fun to fly, but also by flight schools, for sight-seeing, and law enforcement agencies.

The sharp aerodynamics mean that Calidus is a fast cruiser, and with a fuel tank of 74ltr, has a decent range. The huge clear canopy gives both the pilot and passenger an amazing 360view; yet keeping them both warm, dry, and comfortable.

Ventilation? Yes, and with AutoGyros normal ingenuity there are many options;

  • full enclosed canopy with ventilation windows
  • open sided canopy, where large side windows allow plenty of air access
  • high-headroom canopy for very tall pilots
  • full open top canopy

And, of course, as all AutoGyro enclosed aircraft, Calidus is fitted with a proper heater system.

So no matter where the aircraft is operating, or the season, there is a way to keep warm, or keep cool!

And this aircraft has an excellent pedigree. With over 500 released to service since 2009, AutoGyro has a huge depth of reliability experience around the world, whether operated for fun or reward. We know that the diverse operating environments around the world can be harsh for aircraft, and take pride in the ability of our aircraft to reach that standard. Backed worldwide by the AutoGyro factory and partners, you can be sure to be well looked after.

Calidus Sentinel

Calidus Sentinel – Our tandem enclosed camera platform.

The Calidus Sentinel is equipped with one of a range of camera equipment, to suit different mission requirements such as traffic law enforcement, search and rescue, surveillance, aerial inspection, fire location and tracking and so much more. For instance, if fitted with the UKRSPECSYSTEMS USG 212 camera, it can track cars and read license plates from 500 ft. above ground level and effectively detect the heat signatures of fires, people and vehicles on the ground.

This particular camera is a 2-axis stabilized unit with 360 degrees continuous rotation capability, with digital auto video stabilization and target tracking. Its optical zoom capability ranges from zero to 30 times, and its infrared can provide four times zoom. AutoGyro works with a variety of sensor device providers, enabling the right choice of device for the mission profile.

Equipped with the Rotax 914UL engine, the Calidus Sentinel has the power needed to fulfill your task requirements.
