A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Meet the aircraft
The German Tensor 600X is a tandem two-seat autogyro prototype. An autorotating main rotor provides lift, with a separate system producing forward thrust.

The Tensor 600X product is released for X-Plane 11 and 12. VSKYLABS says it used aircraft development information supplied for the project; the real aircraft’s prototype status is distinct from simulator availability.

Meet Tensor 600X
The German Tensor 600X is a tandem two-seat autogyro prototype. An autorotating main rotor provides lift, with a separate system producing forward thrust.
VSKYLABS developed its X-Plane 11 and 12 simulation using information supplied for the Tensor project. Those simulator products are released; the physical aircraft remains a prototype in the selected documentation.

A model-specific ICAO or FAA designator has not been confirmed in the references reviewed for this aircraft.
History & design
A gyroplane for transport and surveillance
The Tensor 600X is a German tandem two-seat autogyro prototype developed for transport, surveillance and urban-air-mobility roles. VSKYLABS describes receiving design information from Tensor AG for its independent simulation project.

An evolving reference aircraft
The simulator project has been active since 2020. Its documentation explicitly says that the prototype remained in development and that the add-on’s specifications and procedures are not an official specification of the physical Tensor. That distinction prevents software performance from being mistaken for certified aircraft data.

Systems & details
Reading the simulator’s equipment list
The add-on combines a native X-Plane autogyro flight model with LR G1000 avionics and a virtual-reality cockpit. These describe the VSKYLABS implementation. The public source does not provide a settled physical-aircraft dimensional or performance table, so those figures are not supplied here.
