The All-New, State-of-the-Art, Fully-enclosed,
German technology Gyroplane
The Calidus09 is a total of new designs, high technology, sound aerodynamics, stability, comfort and speed.
BCAR Section T certification completed.
The first factory build Calidus09 left the factory in Germany for Sweden on Thursday, 12 March 2009.
We are proud to announce that this ground breaking Gryocopter recieved the SA CAA Type Acceptance approval and completed the required proofing flying hours.
We received the Type Designated Number (Y025) on Friday, 23 July 2010.

Tried and tested technology used
Low weight – great performance without extra power
Tandem seating for low drag
Aerodynamic profile giving clean airflow to the prop
Spacious interior for comfort
Excellent visibility
Very quiet cabin inside
High payload allowing serious cross-country flight
Large water radiator with thermostat activated fan.
