EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1934, showcases the Cierva C.30A Avro 671 Rota Mk-1 autogyro parked next to a Lancaster bomber in the Royal Air Force (RAF) hangar in the United Kingdom. The Cierva C.30A, a British military autogyro designed by Juan de la Cierva and developed by the Avro Company, was a significant advancement in rotorcraft technology during the interwar period. The Rota Mk-1, with the registration number K4235, was a versatile aircraft that could be used for both military and experimental purposes. Its unique design featured a fully enclosed cabin, making it more suitable for all-weather operations compared to its predecessors. The autogyro's rotor blades were not powered during forward flight, allowing it to fly like a fixed-wing aircraft, but would spin up when the pilot applied collective pitch control to land or take off vertically. The presence of a Lancaster bomber in the background highlights the size difference between these two aircraft. The Lancaster, a famous British heavy bomber used extensively during World War II, was a formidable military aircraft, whereas the Cierva C.30A was a nimble and agile rotorcraft. The photograph serves as a testament to the advancements in aviation technology during the 1930s and the RAF's commitment to exploring various types of aircraft for both military and experimental purposes.
