Claim 7:
8. A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a flight control system in a rotorcraft according to claim 1, cause the flight control system to carry out the controlling of the at least three electric rotor motors, the collective rotor blade pitch of each rotor system of the at least three rotor systems, the cyclic rotor blade pitch of the at least one rotor system of the at least three rotor systems and the forward propulsion unit, in response to an input control indicating a desired maneuver to operate the rotorcraft for takeoff, gyro-cruising for straight and level forward flight, and landing,
wherein the controlling of the rotorcraft includes simultaneously pitching the rotorcraft upwardly and driving the forward propulsion unit, thereby at least partially autorotating the at least three rotor systems for said gyro-cruising for straight and level forward flight.
