The APU will be installed in the empennage aft of the rear pressure bulkhead and is much quieter than turbine APUs. The installed unit weighs 92 pounds and has mini- mal impact on the Center of Gravity (CG). The potential operational benefit is impressive.
Powered by Jet A and lubricated with turbine oil, the APU also allows the operator quite a bit of flexibility. It is expected to operate on less than 1 GPH of Jet A with minimal use of oil. Of course, using the unit will also provide the capability to fully charge the aircraft batteries to facilitate the standard battery start process.
Whether you are at a remote airport or simply want to use your own aircraft power on the ground, the MaXus Power Unit will expand the flexibility of PC-12 and PC-24 aircraft.
