Advance Tactics and RotorX have unveiled the ATRX-700, a two-seat, fly-by-wire helicopter designed for simplified operation and accessibility.
Priced at $188,000, the ATRX-700 will require only a driver's license, medical, and 30 hours of training for pilots once new MOSAIC regulations take effect.
The Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) expands the Light Sport Aircraft designation to include helicopters and eVTOLs, enabling easier access to such aircraft.
