Historical Overview and Application

The Rotachute Mk III is an experimental single-seat autogyro/glider designed by Raúl Hafner, developed for the British Ministry of Defence in 1941–1942. The main purpose of this unique vehicle was the safe airdrop of individual soldiers (mainly commandos) from aircraft over enemy territory. The Rotachute Mk III's rotor allowed for soft landings in limited areas and was an answer to the need for alternative methods of paratrooper deployment in combat conditions. Although the project never entered mass production, it remains a particularly interesting example of British engineering from that era.
