Who we are

A Puerto Rico aerospace technology company

Gyro Dynamics, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of Puerto Rico and based in San Juan. We develop, own, patent and license innovative gyroplane technologies and designs.

The gyroplane occupies the space between the airplane and the helicopter, and the engineering that performs best in that space is not simply borrowed from either. Our purpose is to own that lane — to design, protect and continuously improve the technologies that make the modern gyroplane a superior, dependable professional aircraft.

  • Research & development of rotor systems, flight controls and airframe structures
  • A growing portfolio of aeronautical intellectual property
  • Technology licensed to manufacturing and operating partners abroad
