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 early 2007 production had moved to Poland with a new production facility being built Jaktorow - Kolonia about 30 miles south west of Warsaw. Approx 145 examples had been built by the end of 2011.
Since 2012 this gyro has evolved and is now offered 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
CA (2012) at Piotrokow Trybunal, Poland - produced as the Xenon IV

The construction number plate ( serial number or werknummer ) on the Xenon / Zen1 / Tercel gyrocopter is located behind the cockpit and below the engine exhaust muffler - it is circled in pink in the photo below.

If you are the owner or pilot of a Xenon / Zen1 / Tercel gyroplane I would be very interested to know the construction number of the example that you fly - please do get in touch - thank you.
Xenon / Zen1 / Tercel pilots and Xenon / Zen1 / Tercel owners - please get in touch by email to update the details below - If you can supply a jpeg photo of your Xenon / Zen1 / Tercel I will add it onto this worldwide fleet listing - Thank you - Steve
