The Cierva C.3 was an experimental autogyro built by Juan de la Cierva in Spain in 1921. It was based on the fuselage of a Sommer monoplane and was actually completed and tested before that aircraft. The C.3 utilised a single three-bladed rotor in place of the coaxial double rotor tested on the C.1.

The Cierva C.30A marked a major step forward in rotorcraft development, being the first production autogiro in which the engine was geared directly to drive the rotor blades for take-off.1
