The CarterCopter is an experimental compound autogyro developed by Carter Aviation Technologies in the United States to demonstrate slowed rotor technology. On 17 June 2005, the CarterCopter became the first rotorcraft to achieve mu-1 (μ=1), an equal ratio of airspeed to rotor tip speed,[3] but crashed on the next flight[2] and has been inoperable since.[4] It is being replaced by the Carter Personal Air Vehicle.
