Grypolane Manufacturer:
Sport Copter
Sport Copter offers two models of gyroplanes that fall within the definition of a light-sport gyroplane: the Vortex and the Vortex M12. Both are single-place aircraft.
Sport Copter has also developed the Sport Copter II, a two-place, enclosed gyroplane with side-by-side seating. Its gross weight places it beyond the maximum allowed takeoff weight allowed for light-sport aircraft. The manufacturer's website suggests that the company intends to develop an "SLSA version" of the Sport Copter II whenever the FAA allows factory-built SLSA gyroplanes.
