The KB-2 Freedom Machine is an autogyro designed by Ken Brock based on the designs of the
Bensen B-8.
Ken Brock was an early innovator in homebuilt gyrocopters starting with his first ride in 1957.
Brock set to work on building and marketing a series of homebuilt gyroplanes with the KB-1 and
later the KB-2.[4]
Ken Brock used his KB-2 design for years in airshow acts and completed several world records. In
1971 he completed the first coast-to-coast autogyro flight from Long Beach, California to Kitty
Hawk, North Carolina.

converted to a powered gyroplane.
