AC-35 Autogiro

AC-35 Autogiro

Developed for a Department of Commerce competition to create an aerial "Model T", the innovative two-seat AC-35 Autogiro could take off and land in a relatively short distance. It performed well, but the $12,500 price tag was several times the average family income of 1936 and didn't meet the goal of an affordable $700 aircraft.
