The Xenon gyrocopter was originally manufactured by ABS Aerolight in France. These early examples were powered by Hirth engines - approximately 15 Xenons were built by ABS, most being supplied as kits.
By 2012 the business partners had separated and the gyro itself evolved with gyros being built by two distinct suppliers,
Aviation Artur Trendak at Jaktorow-Kolonia, Poland - produced as the Zen1 gyrocopter and from 2014 updated as the Tercel and Taurus gyrocopter
and
CA (2012) at Piotrokow Trybunal, Poland - produced as the Xenon IV
