ASs per apo's drawing, the entire outer wings would
have to come off if the autogiro is to be of the
'direct control' type ala the C.30 etc.
When autogiros went to the direct-control hub/rotor design the stub-wings went away as they were not
only no longer necessary for control, they were actually a detriment to control.
BTW as the rotor span would be in the neighborhood of, at least, 60+ feet, the footprint for take-off and
landing would be fairly large. The aircraft would also be considerably larger and heavier than any successfully
flown autogiro, it would also be the first one powered by a liquid-cooled engine since the C.7 (Hispano-Suiza 8Fb)
and C.8V (Wolseley Viper) and of the late '20s.
