ThrustCycle Enterprises is a Honolulu based company founded in 2010 by Clyde Igarashi and David Ryker for the purpose of developing gyroscopic technologies for use in land and air vehicles. In a similar manner to the company's GyroCycle concept, the GyroDrone would use two gyroscopes that stabilize the vehicle while stationary and in flight. The creators contend that the large-scale adoption of gyroscopic technology in evtol aircraft will allow designers to pursue concepts that would be unfeasible otherwise.
The aircraft was revealed in November 2018 as a conceptual design, and as of July 2020 ThrustCycle has yet to provide any updates.
