Madrid won the title of civil engineer, a specialist in aircraft construction and airline pilots, while deepening in the aircraft in his spare time. Shocked by the crash of Captain Julio Ríos, he began to project a safer aircraft, rotary wing, would call gyroplane. Rigid fixation of the rotors to the central hub caused the failure of the first three prototypes designed. Articulating freely, de la Cierva managed sustentanción force necessary to lift the machine. The project finally came true in 1923 when the gyroplane made the first flight between the airports of Cuatro Vientos and Getafe in Madrid. The gyroplane crossed in 1928 the English Channel, and covered the distance that separates England from Spain in 1934. In 1931 he began his marketing and successive innovations introduced as the direct command or lift, enabled the development of multiple models of gyrocopter. De la Cierva died at forty-one years in a plane crash, without seeing his invention converted by helicopter.
