Description
An intent to design a very simple aircraft with extremely short landing run.Two Pulsejets of 1,100 Kg. thrust each are for forward movement only. Rotary wings are for lift control only. Rotor is moved by the movement of air, as in all autogyros.
All fuel carried inside is for the Pulsejet only; his quantity allows for a maximum of 950 Km range.
The aircraft is launched by a catapult to gain enough forward speed to generate lift.
Rotor disk control and four rudder allows the pilot full control of movements.
The spherical tail turret can be aimed at rear attacking enemy aircraft.
The workload is excessive for an average pilot, so a mechanoid of special capacity is needed to manage the aircraft, the powerplant, the rotor, the rudders and fulfill the mission against the enemy opposition.

So... is it towed up to pulse jet speeds?
Or are the compressed gas bottles used to light her up?

Yes, with a catapult. Pulsejets can be started at zero speed, but do not produce enough thrust. Some amount of dynamic air pressure is needed to raise the thrust, so forward speed is needed. Pulsejets are not good at throttle control.
Your idea of using the compressed air is also good to initiate the pulsejet combustion, because pressurized air can imitate the dynamic pressure of the working cycle. I adopt the device...

Much cheers to you and yours.

Like the pulsejet engines, better than ramjets at the rotor tips!

How does the pilot operate the tail gun turret?Β Β

In the ball, between the gun barrels, there is a video camera. The pilot align the center of the camera with the objetive, taking into account the distance involved, so the bullets can hit the target.

Impressive range and armament, but one solid hit and that thing goes from gyrocopter to fireball.

That's what i was thinking too. Β Maybe that's why they had to use a "mechanoid" pilot. Β And I imagine a rough landing might do the same thing.

And there can't be much room for, say, oxygen.

Amazing work, Cutangus!
I hope one day a company actually manages to build some of your designs, they seem like they could work in real life.
