Bensen B.7MC G-ARTN: A Motorized Leap Forward in Gyro-Gliding This photograph showcases the Bensen B.7MC G-ARTN, a motorized version of the renowned Bensen B-7 gyro-glider. Dating back to the 1960s, this aircraft represents a significant leap forward in the world of gyro-gliding, merging the freedom and simplicity of rotorcraft with the power and efficiency of a small engine. The Bensen B-7, designed by Paul Bensen, was initially a non-motorized glider that relied on the pilot's skill and the wind to take off and fly. However, the addition of a motor transformed the B-7 into the B.7MC, allowing for controlled takeoffs and landings, as well as increased versatility and range. The Bensen B.7MC G-ARTN, with its distinctive red and white livery, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the era. Its sleek design, featuring a single rotor and a compact engine, exemplifies the aeronautical advancements that were shaping the aviation world during the 1960s. The motorized gyro-glider offered a unique flying experience, combining the thrill of rotorcraft flight with the convenience of a powered aircraft. This photograph captures the essence of that experience, with the B.7MC poised for takeoff against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. As transportation technology continued to evolve, the Bensen B.7MC G-ARTN stood out as a symbol of progress and adventure in the realm of aviation. Its legacy continues to inspire pilots and enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the boundless possibilities that lie in the skies above.
