Priced at $98,000, the Magni Gyro M-22 Voyager may look like a standard helicopter, but it’s not. The M-22 is actually a gyroplane, and unlike a helicopter, it is pushed forward by a single rotor located behind the pilot. As the gyroplane takes off, the top rotor starts spinning by itself, acting like a wing, which gives stability to the aircraft. The M-22 can go as high as 13,000 feet and has a top speed of 115 mph.
