www.PSFmagazine.com | July-August 2016 | 27 26 | July-August 2016 | Powered Sport Flying Rotorvox presented their luxurious side-by-side-seater, a dream come true. They are now approved in Germany but you have to bring 150 thousand Euros to the table for the basic version. Trendak is offering a side-by-side-seater named Tercel (90,000 Euros {$103,653.90 usd}), very similar to the Celier model, as they were once partners and split some years ago. Additionally, however, there is a new Taifun model (137,000 Euros {$157,784.27 usd}), which looks like a luxury version, with lots of glass and more room. Also there is a stronger engine built in, which also means more speed and load capability. The flight-testing for the German approval is under way. Trendak traditionally also utilizes Rotax engines, but supercharged, with a belt-driven compressor. This engine reaches 145 hp. Another very special gyroplane caught everyone’s attention: A six-seater dual engine gyroplane, clearly not for the ultralight market. This seems to be more of a technology demonstrator but it was impressive to look at. DTA, the French trike manufacturer, has a tandem two-seater on display, which has the German approval since last year. Maybe the high price of 70,000 Euros ($80,619.70 usd) is contributing to the fact that there were not many sales yet. Captions: 1-3.
