Is this XKCD comic list about autogyro features accurate?
Flies like a plane.


To a certain extent in that the controls are plane-like, you do not have helicopter controls (no cyclic, etc.), but you also do not have wing control surfaces, so in some respects like a plane, but not exactly.


  Big blade on top is not powered.


True, the blades are unpowered; they rotate due to the wind. Some autogyros use power to rotate the blade to speed before take off, but the power is removed for flight.


  Never stalls.


You can put it into a stall attitude, but it self-corrects; it is basically a rotating parachute.The fatal mistake that pilots made with early autogyros was that when they entered stall conditions they instinctively pushed forward on the stick which resulted in the 'fuselage' tipping forward and the blades chopping off the tail. There have been a few fatalities this way.


  Sort of like a powered parachute.


Fairly good description. It is more like a powered paraglider than a helicopter or plane.


  Common in Europe (I'm fairly sure I've never seen one in the UK)


Maybe this should be more common in Europe. They are still uncommon in Europe, but they are more common in Europe than the US. Wallis Autogyros used to make them in the UK in the 1960s. Check out the Bond film "You Only Live Twice" for one in action (ignore the missiles, etc.; they are not standard fit on autogyros).


  Can often be flown without a licence.


Not in anyplace I have flown in Europe. The US may be different.
