Introducing
The Linx P9
The world’s most advanced 9-Seater aircraft with VTOL capability
passenger aircraft
Communities thrive via connectivity
Hard infrastructure requirements and significant operating costs are the key limiting factors to accessibility and connectivity. Today more than ever end-users value safety, affordability, reliability, and flexibility. In response to these requirements, ARC has designed the Linx P9 Passenger aircraft.
P9 Specs
doubled payload
Cost Effective
Future shuttle/air-taxi services will quickly become oversubscribed –the only way vertiport operators can increase throughput is through higher capacity aircraft. The Linx’s 9 passenger cabin roughly doubles the payload of typical leading e-VTOL air taxis
The Linx’s 9 seat cabin also compares well to the similar sized AW109 helicopter which carries 6 in the cabin and a 7th sitting next to the pilot.
Helicopter drive-trains for main and tail rotors are mechanically complex, driving up maintenance costs. The Linx’s single rotor is essentially un-powered (apart from the electric spin-up motor, used only prior to take-off) and the corrosion-proof composite airframe will be light and low drag, and while the EIS model will use existing turboprop engines, overall costs are expected to be 40% below those of a similar size helicopter.
safety and silence
Value proposition and advantages
Another major benefit of the P9 is enhanced safety. In case of full power loss on every motor, the aircraft can still safely land the aircraft using autorotation. It doesn’t matter if the aircraft is at 10 meters or 500 meters; P9 can safely maneuver to the ground and land almost anywhere.
The second major benefit is reduced noise. It is much quieter than a conventional helicopter because the top rotor is not powered during the entire flight and the lack of a tail propeller.
