Hover is only required for 15% of helicopter missions. Gyrocopters use an unpowered rotor to maintain flight reducing costs and improving safety.This project studies the feasibility of a large low-carbon Part 27 gyrocopter, largest of its type. This aircraft will provide short take-off and landing improving over fixed wing aircraft and be safer and cheaper than helicopters. To determine the feasibility of the product 5 key points are studied:* Market: Define the target market, identify market characteristics and requirements, provide a clear route to market for the final concept, and engage with operators to obtain potential LOIs* Certification: Discuss with certification authorities on the product limitations and define a route to certification. Understand the certification requirements for operators of this vehicle.* Social: Determine the pain and gain points on all stakeholders (Users and general public), this examines noise, environmental impact, privacy and security concerns as well as comfort & cost.* Technical: Through iterations develop a product that best suits the market, certification and social aspects.* Financial: Generate a financial model for the aircraft development, sales and study the financial cost-benefit.The project will support to bring the UK to the front of gyrocopter knowledge and improve the understanding of the utility aircraft market, potentially if feasible ARC Aerosystems will develop the first large gyrocopter putting the UK in an undisputed leading position.

只有15%的直升机任务需要悬停。旋翼直升机使用无动力旋翼来维持飞行，降低成本并提高安全性。本项目研究大型低碳27号旋翼直升机的可行性，这是同类直升机中最大的。这种飞机将提供比固定翼飞机更短的起飞和着陆，并且比直升机更安全和便宜。为了确定产品的可行性，研究了5个关键点：* 市场：定义目标市场，确定市场特征和要求，为最终概念提供明确的市场途径，并与运营商合作以获得潜在的LOI * 认证：与认证机构讨论产品限制并定义认证途径。了解此车辆操作员的认证要求。*社交：确定所有利益相关者（用户和公众）的痛点和收益点，这将检查噪音，环境影响，隐私和安全问题以及舒适度和成本。技术：通过迭代开发最适合市场、认证和社会方面的产品。*财务：生成飞机开发、销售的财务模型并研究财务成本效益。该项目将支持将英国带到旋翼机知识的前沿，并提高对实用飞机市场的了解，如果可行的话，ARC Aerosystem可能会开发第一架大型旋翼机使英国处于无可争议的领先地位。
