WHY TITANIUM? — THE HEART OF THE TITANIUM AUTO GYRO

When it comes to building an aircraft, strength, reliability and engineering matter.

That’s why Titanium Auto Gyro chose Titanium for its frames.

🔩 TITANIUM FRAME

Titanium offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It’s incredibly strong and lightweight— making it an ideal material for an aircraft frame.

But the material is only part of the story…

🔥 HEAT-TREATED WELDS

Every weld on our Titanium frames undergoes a specialised heat-treatment process after welding.

The process takes 5–6 days:

• 2 days to gradually heat the vacuum oven to approximately 500°C
• 2 days holding the temperature
• Controlled cooling
• All performed in a vacuum environment with zero oxygen

This process is designed to de-stress the welded areas, contributing to the structural integrity and longevity of the frame.

According to Titanium Auto Gyro, this makes their Titanium frame unique among gyroplane frames in being correctly heat-treated to relieve welding stresses.

🔧 BOLTED FRAME DESIGN

The frame is constructed in three sections, bolted together using 5 mm Grade 5 Titanium plates and crush tubes.

This innovative construction eliminates the need for a continuous welded structure around the mast — reducing the potential for stress concentration and cracking in this critical area.

💎 LIGHTWEIGHT. STRONG. ENGINEERED.

It’s not just about building a gyroplane that looks good.

It’s about engineering every component with strength, durability and safety in mind.

Another Super Excited TAG Owner…. 😎✅
Jean Tresfon, Marine Conservationist & Photographer is a seasoned Gyrocopter Pilot with over 1800 Hours in Gyros.

Jean spends many hours airborne in his Gyro Photographing and assisting Biologists by flying them to locations to observe marine Wildlife, counting and surveying their numbers and locations.

The spacious cockpit of the TAG is ideal for Jean to manoeuvre his camera lens comfortably to optimal angles for his spectacular and award winning photographs.

Wishing you many thousand safe flying hours in your New High Powered Metallic Blue Baby ..🫡😎💥

Titanium Auto Gyro ‘TAG’ Rotor Blade Construction.

Over the past 30 years most helicopter companies have gone back to making full composite rotor blades and rotor blade hubs, the main reason for this is because of fatigue affecting rotor blades made from aluminium.

Unfortunately there have been recent reports of a number of aluminium rotor blades developing cracks in gyro copters.
Composite rotor blades usually have an extended life, don't suffer from fatigue (provided they don’t get physically damaged) and are generally much smoother in-flight. This is because composite rotor blades if designed correctly can flex in-flight absorbing a lot of loads and reducing the teetering on the hub bar.

We decided to build the strongest and safest rotor blades ever built for gyro copters with the help of some of the world's leading aerospace composite engineers, with their extensive knowledge in helicopter rotor blades we were able to develop a rotor spar that is as strong as those used in helicopters.

Our composite rotor blades we developed for the Titanium Explorer are made from pre-preg carbon fibre, "Prepreg" is the common term for a reinforcing fabric which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system.

This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to lay into the mould without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, it is necessary to use a combination of pressure and heat.

There are several advantages to using a prepreg rather than using traditional hand layup.

Maximum strength properties. In a hand layup, it is difficult to achieve 50% resin content. This means that the finished laminate weight is 50% fabric and 50% resin. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.

With prepreg carbon fibre the TG (which is the point at which resin starts to soften) is around 120 degrees Celsius compared to wet laid composite that has a TG of between 65 to 85 degrees, so for the first time ever one could have pure black composite rotor blades, not that it’s a practical option.

Some custom livery designs by TAG owners. There are not that many since the original factory colours are so rich and the final finish so spectacular that few make any changes. 👌✅ 🤩
We would love to see other designs that are out there, please share images of your custom TAG. 💥🚁 💨 💨

No strong headwind. No problem.

Not even any accompanying music so that all engine and rotor sounds are clearly audible.

When the design is right, you don’t need perfect conditions. You just need to fly.
