autogiro  Ramon Somoza 
Aircraft whose airlift is provided not by wings but rather by an unpowered horizontal rotor that move due to the forward movement of the vehicle, thus providing the necessary lift. Contrary to the helicoptar, it does not have a tail rotor. The forward propulsion is provided by a propeller at the nose of the aircraft.  Ramon Somoza 
"The autogiro of the Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva is considered the precursor of the helicopter."  Ramon Somoza
