The British company Arc Aero Systems demonstrated the design of the hybrid gyroplane of the future, which will be used to perform missions at a distance of more than a thousand kilometers.
As reported by Ukrinform, New Atlas reported this.
The company promises that the hybrid Linx P9 “can outperform conventional helicopters of comparable size in terms of range, speed and operating costs.”
The total weight of the aircraft will be 1,930 kg, and the flight range will be approximately 1,300 kilometers.
The propeller length of the gyroscopic aircraft, which is designed to carry 9 people, will be 13 meters. It is recorded that 496 horsepower engines are placed in the middle.
The maximum cruising speed will reach 370 km per hour.
An hour’s use of the Linx P9 will cost $505, which the company claims is 40% less than traditional rental helicopters.
As reported by Ukrinform, one of the largest aircraft manufacturing companies, Airbus is seeking investors for its high-altitude solar-powered surveillance and communications aircraft program called Zephyr.
