General layout

The AISA GN was an autogyro with an extensively glazed cabin and the engine mounted in pusher configuration, meaning the propeller blew rearward. The same assembly was completed by a tricycle landing gear. A separate tail fin was mounted at the end of two tail booms supported by small wings, known as stub wings. The cabin offered room for three passengers.

The powerplant

The engine was a single air-cooled, six-cylinder opposed Lycoming IO-540-K1A5, delivering 220 kW (300 hp). The prototype, however, had been developed with a 200 hp engine.
