The RotorSport UK MT-03 is a two-seat autogyro manufactured to British Civil Airworthiness Requirements CAP643 Section T. New build-aircraft based on the AutoGyro MT-03 design are imported from Germany and completed to British regulations by RotorSport UK Limited in the United Kingdom.

The autogyro has two tandem seats and is powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912 ULS although optionally a 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 UL Turbo can be fitted.
