....the Gyrocopter has the basic helicopter feature list: vertical take off and landing,.....

Bzzzzzt.. Wrong answer. Care to try again?

Gyrocopers, and Autogyros are not VTOL's, they are (at best) STOL's Please note that the rotor is driven by air pressure while being driven forward by a prop that is connected to engine.

And.... at no time in the Mad Max movies is it seen demonstrating VTOL behavior...

So, go and suspend your own disbelief.

Well, that *is* a rather standard helicopter thing, even if gyro's don't do it ;)

It'd still be a fun way to get around and it isn't as if they need very much distance to get airborne.
