A California partnership has unveiled the ATRX-700, a $188,000 fly-by-wire two-seat helicopter designed for easy flight using military-derived control systems.
Available upon the implementation of the new MOSAIC regulations, pilots will only need a driver’s license, medical, and 30 hours of factory training.
The factory-built helicopter can carry 650 pounds, has a 300-mile range, and reaches speeds of 100 MPH.
