WHO WE ARE

Magni Gyro company, born from Vittorio Magni’s deep knowledge and passion for the rotating wing systems, nowadays has a quite important role in the world of gyros; Magni’s products are worldwide renowned for offering reliability and safety. Magni’s gyroplanes are exported worldwide and they are used both for sport recreational flight and for more specific and demanding uses. Because of technical and building characteristics these gyros are versatile, easy to use and operative at low-cost: these factors make them even more interesting for professional use.

THE FOUNDER VITTORIO MAGNI

		Born near Milan in 1938, Vittorio Magni started gaining technical knowledge in 1956 at Agusta Spa working in the transmission, engine and airframe departments. In 1962 he was recruited as a specialist in the Helicopter Division of Montedison, acquiring experience in crop spraying and aerial disinfestations. In 1964, together with another pilot, he established Elitaliana, a company for aerial work specializing in crop spraying. In 1967, thanks to his wide rotorcraft experience, Magni collaborated with Silvercraft Spa (a brand new company created to build a new light helicopter). At Silvercraft, he was appointed Flight Line Leader and obtained a helicopter pilot’s licence. In 1977 he created VPM including a department manufacturing composite parts, in order to satisfy the increasing demand from several aeronautical companies (Agusta Spa; Aerea Spa, etc.). In 1967 he had imported the plans of a Bensen gyroplane from the U.S.A. This would have been the first gyro flying in Italy.
After that first machine, Vittorio developed a complete range of one- and two-seat gyros, even more and more improved. His first commercial success in the field of gyros arrived in 1986 by selling to a Spanish company called Cemenesa the patent rights of two models: the single seat MT5 and the two seat MT7 (both powered by Arrow engines). In 1996 the old company VPM became MAGNI GYRO, with the purpose of improving created models and designing new ones. Since its beginning the company showed to be well founded and to be capable of a good development.

MAGNI GYRO

After its first years in Cavaria , the company underwent its first expansion in 2000 , when it moved to a 900 sqm building in Besnate , a small town in the Varese district . Beginning from January the 1^st 2008 the company underwent a new and important expansion . The new 2000 sqm building , always set in Besnate , allows to produce 6 gyroplanes per month , for an annual production of approx 60-70 units . This geographical location must not be underestimated; the Varese district is one of Italy’s most important aeronautical centres . This generates several advantages as , for example , the easiness in finding suppliers of aeronautical materials and the presence of skilful and specialized people , workers and companies . This departmental organization of the production features 3 semi-independent departments always interacting together ; this is done to grant a reliable , effective and profitable production capable of long term planning both in standard and prototype production .

The 3 departments are:
Composite materials department:	Hand done impregnating and “sandwich” lamination techniques, processing of fibre glass, carbon fibre and Kevlar with epoxy-polyurethane resins Finishing & refining of parts Painting Blade balancing facilities
Structures department:	Light carpentry TIG welding (aluminium, steel…)
Assembly department:	Systems assembly Gyroplane assembly System inspection and test Inspections Overhaul
There is then a quite important assistance from other companies of high quality level, for the production of machined parts always produced on Magni Gyro detailed drawings.
