Its enclosed cockpit provided better protection for the pilot, while the more powerful engine allowed for increased speed and agility. The autogyro's rotor system, which was unique for its time, enabled it to take off and land vertically, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including reconnaissance, liaison, and training. 5. Legacy: The Cierva W.14 Skeeter 2, though not commercially produced, paved the way for future autogyro developments. Its innovative design and capabilities showcased the potential of this type of aircraft, inspiring further research and development in the field of rotorcraft technology.
