Design and development

The Liberty was designed as an entry-level, open cockpit gyroplane, although it has an optional cabin canopy enclosure. It features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear without wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a four-cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912 or turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 engine in pusher configuration. [1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from composites. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 8.4 m (27.6 ft). The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 245 kg (540 lb) and a gross weight of 560 kg (1,235 lb), giving a useful load of 315 kg (694 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]
