Design and development


The Trixformer is based upon a two-wheeled electric motorcycle chassis as a land vehicle and is designed to add modular flying components. It can be equipped and flown as an autogyro, with the plug-in gyro module. Helicopter or fixed wing aircraft modules were under development in 2015.[1]

As an autogyro, the Trixformer features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear, plus a tail caster and a four-cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke 130 hp (97 kW) Trixy 912 Ti engine in pusher configuration.[1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from metal tubing and composites. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 8.6 m (28.2 ft). The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 350 kg (772 lb) and a gross weight of 560 kg (1,235 lb), giving a useful load of 210 kg (463 lb). With full fuel of 80 litres (18 imp gal; 21 US gal) the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is 153 kg (337 lb).[1]

Unlike many other autogyro builders Trixy Aviation uses a swash plate in its rotor head designs, rather than a tilt head. This makes the design more sensitive to fly and requires special type training.[1]
