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 1300NaN0 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 8.61NaN1. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 3500NaN0 and a gross weight of 5600NaN0, giving a useful load of 2100NaN0. With full fuel of the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is 1530NaN0.[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]
