ABS
AEROLIGHT LAUNCHES NEW XENON
GYROPLANE
Chicago:
ABS Aerolight, a specialist in the design,
manufacture, and sale of scientific drones and
ultra-light motorized aircraft, is pleased to
announce its latest product: the Xenon. The
Xenon is a fully enclosed gyroplane equipped with
the latest in innovative technologies. It
offers the stability of a regular plane, providing
a feeling of safety guaranteed to make every flight
a pleasant one.
The
Xenon features a unique design comprised of a
composite structurally self-supporting cell with
all of the necessary reinforcements at each vital
stress point. Upper and lower windows, large
windows in each door, and a wraparound windshield
provide optimum visibility and a panoramic
view. A complete, helicopter-type instrument
panel is perfectly integrated into the cabin
design.
The
50 inch wide Xenon cabin offers unbeatable
comfort. All of the flight commands are
centrally located, and the ergonomic composite
bucket seats are adjustable and may be removed to
reveal a generous 8.8 cubic feet storage
compartment. A stretcher, cargo area, or
airborne workspace may be installed by removing the
passenger seat.
The
Xenon features sturdy and effective landing gear
with two aluminium blades at the back and a front
welded yoke. Propulsion is ensured by a HIRTH
F30 102-HP motor with forced cooling and a
Kevlar/carbon Ivoprop-type propeller with a
diameter of 68.5 inches for optimum thrust.
No motor effects are felt and there is no attitude
excursion during gear changes due to the
generously-dimensioned tail unit. The rotor
is built using an exclusive all aluminum extruded
technology, making it virtually vibration
free.
The
Xenon gyroplane may be purchased with a number of
options on a special order basis. The
complete, advanced kit can be assembled in
approximately 250 hours.
ABS
Aerolight is currently seeking civilian and
military partners and offers exclusive distribution
contracts for Xexon gyroplanes and
drones.
