The speaker has no specialist knowledge of agricultural aviation and will therefore briefly describe the aircraft, and provide thoughts on possible uses in aid of agriculture.

The ultra-light autogyro is probably the smallest practical aircraft of any type. Happily it does not need to be correspondingly fragile or delicate and it is little affected by turbulence or inclement weather, in the air or on the ground.

Some thought has already been given to an agricultural autogyro, although a somewhat larger machine than the Wallis autogyro was envisaged. While advantages would undoubtedly ensue from the larger size, such an aircraft would probably be in competition with comparable helicopters and fixed - wing machines. By the time development was complete there might be no great saving in first cost or maintenance.
