Ford Hoplite

 
From pc.ign.com: Three Days of Crimson Skies: Day One

One of the dominating security and combat autogyros of North America, the Ford Hoplite was originally designed to protect company properties in the Industrial States of America from the infamous gangs operating there. It was so successful at this that it was welcomed by the markets of Hollywood, the Empire State, and Pacifica and has since found its way onto the used-aircraft markets of the world. Heavily armed for a civilian autogyro, the nimble Hoplite is used by dozens of security-conscious companies across the continent.
