Can a medieval gyroplane be built?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 6 $begingroup$ A hang-glider or a gyro-glider would suffice also, with the purpose of actually working. I was hoping it wouldn't require a motor, because I doubt a motor could be built in medieval times. If it could be built, how much manpower and resources would go into one single one? Would it be viable to mass produce in military applications (surprise attack on lower altitude enemies)? How reliable would the thing(s) work? medieval flight aircraft share | improve this question asked Mar 17 at 19:34 Firemorfox Firemorfox 192 7 $endgroup$ 2 $begingroup$ For gyro-plane you need motor, if your heroes are not super-humans... not viable for comparable to us. Ability to build motor electrical or combustion means you are not in medieval for sure... With this level of science and production you may as well build machine-guns. $endgroup$ – Artemijs Danilovs Mar 17 at 19:55 1 $begingroup$
