Per request I've added these new sections:

  • Cyclogyros & Cyclocopters - Experimental rotorcraft types which utilize horizontal-axis cyclorotors for vertical lift. Aircraft with cylindrical wing rotors designed to harness the Magnus Effect are welcome here as well. [MAIN ROTORCRAFT CATEGORY]
  • Avionics, Radars, and Other Electronics - Avionics suites, GPS, radars and other detection systems, sensors, and other special electronic equipment designed for rotorcraft. [MAIN ROTORCRAFT CATEGORY]
  • Ornithopters - Aircraft designs with flapping wings like a bird. [LOCATED IN General Aviation and Aerospace]
  • Cars and Other Civilian Surface Transportation - Discussions about civilian vehicles like cars/trucks/SUVs/etc., motorcycles, off-road vehicles, trains/locomotives, and any other type of surface transportation, including your own garage projects. Post boats and other watercraft discussions in the Naval Ships and Watercraft section. [OFF-TOPIC CATEGORY] - I added this one a few weeks ago but still recent enough to mention here.

What do you think?

I've been thinking about a lot of the pre-1940s designs that occasionally show up here, and how they seem to cross the line between popular and obscure types; this is sort of a subjective viewpoint as not all rotorheads pay attention to these types other than niche historians like myself.

Should I create a separate section for these developments? Should I divide things between pre-1945/post-1945 like SPF does? Feedback, please.

You talked to me about this in 2015 remember? you said that you would do it if a split feature is installd. I agree since some of those earlier types are mixed with post 1940s era projects and the threads would need to be split up.

its a good idea though :)
