The '''Apollo Gyro AG1''' is a [[Hungary|Hungarian]] [[autogyro]] produced by [[Apollo Ultralight Aircraft]] of [[Eger]] and introduced in 2012. The aircraft is supplied ready-to-fly.<ref name="WDLA15">Tacke, Willi; Marino Boric; et al: ''World Directory of Light Aviation 2015-16'', page 188. Flying Pages Europe SARL, 2015. {{ISSN|1368-485X}}</ref>

== Design and development == The aircraft features a carriage built on a welded [[stainless steel]] frame, with a fiberglass composite streamlined [[aircraft fairing|fairing]], dual-controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. The rotor is of [[aluminum]] alloy and includes a pneumatic pre-rotator.<ref name="WDLA15"/><ref name="halley.hu">{{cite web|url=http://www.halley.hu/apollo.php?kat_nev=Apollo%20Gyro|title=Halley Kft.|work=halley.hu|accessdate=16 December 2016}}</ref>

The powerplant options include the four cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912ULS]] engine, or the {{convert|115|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} turbo-charged [[Rotax 914]] engine.<ref name="WDLA15"/><ref name="halley.hu"/>

Originally an open-cockpit design with dual windshields, in 2013 a [[bubble canopy]] was introduced as an option. It weighs {{convert|20|kg|lb|abbr=on}} and can be installed in five minutes.<ref name="WDLA15"/> <!-- ==Operational history== --> <!-- ==Variants== --> == Specifications (AG1) == {{Aircraft specs |ref=Tacke and manufacturer<ref name="WDLA15"/><ref name="halley.hu"/> |prime units?=met <!-- General characteristics --> |genhide=
