ARGON GTL
The Grand Turismo of gyroplanes
Every category of vehicle eventually produces a grand tourer - the one built not just to perform, but to carry you far, in comfort, in style. For gyroplanes, that machine is the ARGON GTL: the first true Grand Turismo of the class, designed for comfortable, long-range travel with Polish engineering and approved manufacturing standards.
Built to go the distance
The GTL - Grand Turismo Long - earns its name. A 130-litre fuel capacity gives up to 5 hours in the air, and some 620 miles of range with external tanks fitted. Powered by the ROTAX 916 iS producing 160 hp, it has the muscle to match the reach. This is a gyroplane you take on a journey, not just a flight.
Room for the trip, not just the pilot
What sets a grand tourer apart is that it packs for the weekend. The GTL's luggage compartment holds a full cubic metre - enough for full-size suitcases, golf clubs, skis, a surfboard, fishing rods or a foldable bike. Combined with a Garmin G3X glass cockpit, autopilot and a constant speed propeller, it turns cross-country flying into effortless touring. It even carries a CO2 inflatable water rescue system as standard.
