I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that's an 'experimental' craft...with low power, and you'll be able to pilot it under the new Sport Pilot license which requires much less time, effort, and resources than a normal Pilot's license to obtain.

These are called autogyro's, by the way. The top rotor isn't powered, and turns due to autorotation from forward movement (provided by the rear propeller.)
