About ARC Aerosystems
ARC Aerosystems’ portfolio combines proven gyroplane architecture with new vertical-lift development. Pegasus is a two-seat gyroplane capable of vertical take-off and landing through a powered rotor system, while the larger Linx P9 is a planned nine-seat hybrid-electric regional aircraft derived from the same autorotative flight principle. The company has also developed smaller uncrewed and demonstrator platforms across multiple generations.
ARC is pursuing cargo, medical transport, surveillance and regional-mobility applications where helicopter-like access is required at lower acquisition and operating cost. It has announced sales of Pegasus aircraft and agreements covering kidney transport, while Linx P9 remains a development programme rather than a certified production aircraft. Engineering work spans airframes, propulsion integration, autonomous flight and flight testing from the company’s UK base.
