One of the European Heritage events held in various locations in Northern Ireland The 18A Gyroplane, created by Air & Space, is an intriguing piece of aviation technology that can be found on display at the Ulster Aviation Society. As a type of aircraft that utilises a rotor to generate lift and a propeller for thrust, the gyroplane is a rather unique hybrid between a helicopter and an aeroplane. The 18A model was designed to be lightweight, compact, and easy to manoeuvre, making it a popular choice for recreational flying.
