Meet Dorand G.20
René Dorand’s G.20 was an ambitious helicopter project developed around coaxial rotors and two Renault engines. The prototype survived the interruption of the Second World War and reached ground testing, but did not fly.
VSKYLABS’ Dorand D20 is a released freeware interpretation for X-Plane 12. It explores how the unusual design might have behaved, so the simulator’s flight characteristics are explicitly conceptual.
