Trixy Eye

The Trixy Eye is an Austrian tandem-seat autogyro designed and built by Trixy Aviation Products intended for police and military operators for the observation and reconnaissance roles.

Design
The Eye was developed from the Trixy G 4-2 R. It features a single main rotor, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, a tail caster, 2 LED landing lights and 2 LED navigation and strobe lights on the cabin sides, a 152 hp Trixy 912 Ti or Rotax 912ULS engine in pusher configuration, and a pedal actuated main rotor pre-rotator to reduce the takeoff roll. An optionally heated cabin with removable canopy glass, UV-protected canopy and windshield and a defroster fan built into the instruments panel provide climate control.

The aircraft's fuel and electrical system are redundant and alternative battery and mechanical instruments are provided. Fuel is stored in two M.E.Rin anti-explosion tanks. The rear seat can be fitted with simplified controls to emergency use and Kevlar armour is optional.

An auxiliary fuel tank or a parachute drop box may be optionally installed under the cabin.

The Trixy Eye can carry up to 25 kg in sensors and cameras, as the mount is close to the center of gravity.
