  "term": "Gyrocopter",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An aircraft that uses an unpowered rotor for lift and a separate engine-driven propeller for thrust. The main rotor autorotates due to the airflow passing through it, providing lift, while the propeller moves the aircraft forward. Gyrocopters are known for their short takeoff and landing capabilities and their ability to fly at very low speeds.",
