Meet VSKYLABS Contraventus

Contraventus is a VSKYLABS simulator design that begins with the layout of the MIT Daedalus 88 human-powered aircraft and develops it into an electric-powered experimental glider. The developer presents it as a renewable-energy concept demonstrator for precision flying.

Separate native X-Plane 11 and 12 products are available. Its equipment and flying characteristics belong to this simulated research prototype; it is not a released real-world production aircraft.
