==Design and development== The [[Tandem|tandem seat]] Kiss series was designed as a complement to the [[side-by-side configuration]] [[Celier Xenon 2]] series of autogyros. The Kiss series all feature a single main rotor, [[tricycle landing gear]], a low-set [[T-tail]] and a choice of engines, all mounted in [[pusher configuration]].<ref name="WDLA11" />

==Variants== ;Kiss 582 :A proposed single seat variant under development in 2011. It will be powered by the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, [[two-stroke]], dual-ignition {{convert|64|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 582]] engine. The cockpit will be either partially or, optionally, fully enclosed.<ref name="WDLA11" /> ;Kiss 912 :Base model, with two seats in tandem, powered by a four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, [[four-stroke]], dual-ignition {{convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912UL]] engine in pusher configuration. The cockpit has a semi-enclosed [[Aircraft fairing|fairing]] with a windshield.<ref name="WDLA11" /> ;Kiss 912S :Upgraded model, with two seats in tandem, powered by a four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912ULS]] engine in pusher configuration.
