Giravion
FRUn giravion est un aéronef dont la sustentation est assurée entièrement ou principalement par un ou plusieurs rotors. Les hélicoptères appartiennent à cette famille. Les caractéristiques, les autorisations et les exigences de maintenance dépendent du type et du modèle; le terme seul n’établit ni leur portée opérationnelle ni leur certification.
