Toray 2511 carbon prepreg.

Approximately 50 precision-molded composite components engineered for consistent assembly.

Prepreg carbon offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and the ability to form complex aerodynamic and structural shapes. Using a limited set (50) of precision molds reduces assembly variability, lowers part count, and simplifies kit build steps for the amateur constructor while maintaining high structural integrity.

Turbotech TP‑R90 recuperated turbine (141 HP).

Recuperation improves thermal efficiency and lowers specific fuel consumption versus a non‑recuperated turbine, giving strong power for weight while stretching range and endurance.

Custom 44‑gallon Fuel Safe tank

Roughly 5 hours of flight time enabling extended cross‑country capability.

With the TP-R90 and recuperator installed, the aircraft’s fuel burn is approximately 9 gallons per hour in typical cruise conditions.

The Vixen uses carbon-fiber rotor blades from Duke Propellers.

The main rotor operates at 450 RPM, while the tail rotor operates at 3000 RPM.
