Carter Personal Air Vehicle
Carter Personal Air Vehicle - PAV je eksperimentalni žirokopter, ki ga je razvilo ameriško podjetje Carter Aviation Technologies. Ima dvokraki negnani glavni rotor in propeler z nastavljivim krakom, ki ga poganja 6-valjni batni motor Lycoming IO-540 K1G5. Glavni rotor se začne vrteti, ko se začne zrakoplov premikati (avtorotacija). Del vzgona prispevajo tudi majhna krila pri straneh.
