Regalpony is
a domain name/address for
a web site created by John
to display the information he
has gathered about the history
and future of the autogyro,
'gyrocopter' and gyroplane.
The Regalpony website is a collection of study's,
ideas, information, photos and links to other sites under the gyroplane
theme.
It was and is all about gyroplanes, their past, their
use and a vision for the future. Soon, you may see it become a commuter's
dream come true.
There are many individuals, groups and organizations around the
world interested in autorotation. The gyroplane is an enduring concept
that makes it possible for everyone to study.
Please,
have a look around and e-mail
us your comments and / or photos. We hope you'll like what you find
on Regalpony, and remember: "In all your getting, get understanding".
Objectives
Ideas
Concerns
What is the main objective of this website?
To gather together information on gyroplanes.
Why?
There is lots of information around on gyroplanes but it is littered
throughout the available media. My initial search several years
ago found gyroplanes purely by chance. Once I saw one I could
see how ingenious a vehicle the gyroplane was. I could see it's
possibilities and I knew the only way to popularize them was to
share that information.
So your own objective is to . . . ?
Promote the value of autorotation, promote the benefits of gyroplane
travel and get more people to look above the pavement at all that
free sky.
What do you mean
by the heading "Ideas"?
Perhaps "usage" would be a better heading. But "Ideas"
is the spark of change. To have an idea is the beginning of growth.
Do you have a specific idea concerning gyroplanes?
Yes. And it's not a "hidden agenda" of the regalpony website. I
make it plain and clear: commuting to work.
Whenever I see another peice of the puzzle fit into place I point
out what that piece indicates to me.
Why are you pursuing this idea of commuting to
work in a gyroplane, or any other plane?
That's easy to anwser. Anyone can see that paving over more of the
earth is not the way of the future. Sitting in the smog with thousands
of other road vehicles, not going anywhere fast indicates this.
The earth is saturated with too many road vehicles.
It's all about business. Leaving the current road systems intact
for truck and passenger bus travel is important. Relieving the road
congestion by moving 25% of the short trip traffic into the air
is the way of the future. BMW's and Chevy's of the sky.
Isn't thousands
of gyroplane flying around going to increase the smog?
No. In fact twice the number of gyroplanes flying would still not
equal the pollution from automobiles.
For this reason: the average road vehicle takes three times as long
to get where it's going because of congestion and traffic light
idling.
A 45 minute trip in a road vehicle takes only 12 minutes in a gyroplane.
So the engine in a road based vehicle is running for 50 minutes
and a gyroplane engine is running for 17 minutes on the same trip.
(Adding 5 minutes starting)
How are you going to keep thousands of gyroplanes
from crashing into each other and falling on the roof of my house?
There's more of a chance of a meteor falling on your house than
a gyroplane. And I've already addressed the issue of orderly gyroplane
flight on the pages of this website. There's the flight
level's page and the ADS-B page which
explains your question in better detail.
