Aren't engineers wonderful?  The description of a flight test of the
Hafner
Rotabuggy (Jeep gyroglider) on the same site is also very... startling. 
See
also http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/WWII/fly-jeep/fly-jeep.htm
for a
card model, and
http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/WWII/fly-jeep/info/info.htm for a
pic
of the rotabuggy in flight!

The Rotatank project also shows that people can get _really_ carried
away- a
Valentine tank gyroglider!
