What you are asking for is information about Gyroplanes. Quite a few have been
built in the US and a variety of plans are available. Note that you DO need
the appropriate Pilot's Licence to fly one (unlike an ultralight).

If you really are interested in building one of these, I would suggest you join
the Experimental Aircraft Association (address: Hales Corners, WI 53130). Their
monthly publication advertises reputable sources of plans for such craft. Also,
there is very likely a local chapter in your area - you never know, you may be
living next to someone who has built and flown one.
