Start at the aircraft
Most aviation software starts with manual data entry: someone uploads an IGC file, types a logbook entry, reconciles a spreadsheet. Airsuite starts earlier — at the aircraft. ARX9 is a software-defined aircraft hardware platform that captures flight data, position, telemetry and video directly, then makes it available as one trusted record. No manual uploads, no scattered files.
One stream, many products
That single stream powers the rest of the ecosystem. AirStream turns it into live video, real-time tracking and secure ground-side records. AirMan turns it into operational history, logbooks and aircraft records. AirRace turns it into automatic race data, task replay and performance analysis. The aircraft becomes the source of truth all of them read from.
Same device, different mission
ARX9's hardware platform stays fundamentally the same across aircraft types; what changes is the software profile, the modules fitted and the regulatory configuration. In a glider it can act as a flight computer, logger, telemetry node and streaming source; in an ultralight it can power live tracking, cockpit video and logbook enrichment. The mission changes through software, not a hardware redesign.
The capabilities described here are a target specification, subject to final hardware validation.
A managed, circular hardware model
ARX9 is not a one-off instrument purchase. Operators pay a lower upfront hardware contribution plus an ongoing service fee that keeps the device updated, connected and supported, with over-the-air software and new features over time. If a unit fails, it is replaced and the original reconditioned — keeping downtime and cost low.
Certification and installation
ARX9 is currently positioned for experimental, glider, ultralight and non-certified use cases depending on jurisdiction. Installation in certified aircraft may require approval by the relevant aviation authority and is subject to the applicable certification and installation path. ARX9 is not presented as a certified primary flight instrument unless and until such certification is obtained, and Airsuite is not a certified flight recorder or mandated safety system.
