Magnitogorsk resident bought the aircraft,

The road from Magnitogorsk to Perm businessman overcome in just three and a half hours.

The road to the office at the South Ural businessman Kirill Markevich goes over the Ural Mountains. Under the fuselage of his brilliant girokoptera sweeping steppes, plains and rivers, revealing a stunning view. However, not only the beautiful panorama, seen from a bird's flight, forced Cyril seats at the helm. In comparison with the motion drive, its route decreased by 300 km and was seven hours shorter. Unusual aircraft surprise drivers and causes tourists to get cameras.

For such a handsome man could be clearing any runway. Somewhere midway between Perm and Magnitogorsk, Cyril descends from heaven to earth and flexing his legs, if they become numb during the flight.

 - Speed ​​flight through the air - about 180 km / h. Regarding the land - there is plus / minus the wind. Dressed unit usual 95th gasoline - says Kirill Markevich. - And here the most interesting hour fuel consumption of about 20-25 liters. If all the count, it turns out that having gone from Magnitogorsk to Perm in the car, I would have spent more money on fuel alone. Not to mention those killed on the roads of the native sport "suspension", a heap of time and nerves.





It is worth noting that girokopter can only be called a helicopter. He does not have the vertical takeoff, although in appearance it resembles the classic helicopter - except that the tail rotor had - pushing. The operating principle of a "machine" - the free rotation of the rotor blades under the influence of air flow. By the way, this mode is used in the case of helicopters and engine stop for an emergency landing - but effective autorotation only for relatively light aircraft.

 - Actually, that's how to take and fly to another city is not a problem if you have a license. Up to a height of three thousand meters 90 percent of the way from Magnitogorsk to Perm - the so-called zone of Class G, where the flight is no supervisory support and entirely at the discretion of the pilot - shared Cyril. - According to the rules, no later than one hour before the flight online air traffic control makes a bid, it takes just a couple of minutes - and, as a rule, at this end of formality. Only takeoff and landing, which in the case of the Magnitogorsk and Perm occur in the 30-kilometer zone of the "responsibility" of large airports, communication with the controller is required.



Cyril was pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone in aviation, because when you fly quite low over the mountains, to contact the dispatcher for hundreds of kilometers on the radio quite problematic. By and large, it is not necessary - but humanly managers are wondering whether all is well? Sometimes they can contact Cyril even after the crew flying near "Boeing»

 - When you hear that you were causing "Transaero-so" ... The first time was blown away! And when the pilot says, "Good morning, here" Ural region "wondered how you were doing, where you are" - well, then, through him and reported, - says Cyril.

If ten years ago, Kirill said that he will take to the air brotherhood, he probably would not have believed. Girokopter man first saw a couple of years ago Chebarkulkom range during training exercises - the device showed the president was still Dmitry Medvedev.

 - It is clear that all of us who prepared the visit, there is not a day spent on this site. And at the same apparatik fly out - liked it. As they say, fired up to buy the same, - says Kirill Markevich. - It is a good car, but it turns out that even cheaper to operate.



To take off on their own, it had to be trained. It's almost like a driving school: 50 hours of flight time in Magnitogorsk, and then an examination in Moscow. According to Cyril, he discovered "in fact, new, another dimension - or the degree of freedom. When in addition to "left-right" is added to the "up-down».

Now a businessman ideates start production of similar devices in the Chelyabinsk region. Many admit that they are happy to be boarded because of bagels at the helm of the apparatus. Eventually girokoptery not depend on roads they are faster and even somewhat more economical. But if for some Magnitogorsk girokoptery - curiosity, in Perm, this transfer was an order of magnitude more popular - says Cyril, "we have already met with several owners. People also fly - who in Kirov, who in Chelyabinsk. No cops, no bumps. Just buzz! »
