'Light Sport' Fly-By-Wire Helicopter Unveiled - AVweb

A California partnership says its fly-by-wire two-seat helicopter can be flown away by anyone with $188,000, a driver's license medical and 30 hours of training as soon as the new MOSAIC regs come into effect. Advance Tactics and RotorX say the ATRX-700 will be easy to fly thanks to the computer on the other end of the controls, and it will carry 650 pounds 300 miles at 100 MPH. The new Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification has added eVTOLs and helicopters under a new regime that expands the current Light Sport Aircraft designation.
