Helicopters and autogyros are less fuel efficient. But a well built autogyro (also airship) has the advantage over a fixed wing aircraft of not being able to stall.

Airships have the potential of being more fuel efficient. But I guess there are fixed wing aircraft that are pretty fuel efficient too.

My dream aircraft would be an airship covered in lightweight solar cells.
