This is the ONLY 3 seat gyroplane available in the world today in industrial construction.
Expended version from our flag ship Xenon 2, we have re-sized the cabin to install comfortably 3 persons. While maintaining normal performances, tanks to our amazing Yamaha engine with 180 HP, and powerful rotor adapted by its size for this job.
This triangular seating, with the pilot in the center front, allows at any times a perfect CG (balance) as the passengers are under the mast not inducing any change in pitch. We have added in the back 2 side windows, ensuring the pilot for a much larger view (300 degree) and for the pleasure of the back passengers. The seats are more reclined than 2 seat versions, providing higher comfort for long flights. Passengers have at their disposal a central armrest / glove box, reading light, headset plugs, headrest, 3 point harnesses, foot step, 12V plug…and other options available.
This is also the only gyro in the world able to lift more than its own weight (in carbon version): 290 kg complete empty weight for 310 kg payload. While keeping astonishing performances.
The pilot in the center have an amazing surrounding view, great feeling, but even better for the safety and in patrol mode…
This symmetry of piloting is perfect for high precision operations. The pilot have, if flying alone, a fantastic space around him. Back seats can be removed, freeing cargo space. We were able to put 2 extra long range tanks pushing the fuel range to 11 hours, plus 2×20kg luggage. It could be also one pilot, one passenger, plus 2×40 kg luggage…
The cabin is long enough to lay flat for a good sleep on a inflatable bed…!
Military do enjoy this great space for other more complex equipments…
Passengers in the back do enjoy full view as well, and can follow all pilot actions, making it even more attractive.
The Xenon 3 is a single controls operation. It is not designed for schooling.
In the crop spraying version, it will carry 160L of liquids plus the necessary hardware.
The Xenon 3 is an even more easy to fly than the already world easiest Xenon 2, due to a longer airframe, higher inertia rotor,pilot central position.
The Xenon 3 serie is our second flagship.
