Abstract
In the first part, the article describes the stages of the development of gyroplanes and the influence of wartime policy on the interest in light aircraft. Also presented are links and the possibilities of using gyroplanes in various sectors of the economy. The authors, based on source texts, present the current position of the aviation industry in the Polish economy and attempt to diagnose its development capabilities. As a result, factors responsible for the current condition of the light aviation industry and its links with architecture and urban planning are submitted. The question is posed: what consequences will the development of the aviation industry bring for architecture and urban planning, for the community and the image of 21st century cities?
