Three fictional aircraft for exploring X-Plane’s atmosphere, terrain and extreme flight regimes.
A push-pull twin with one engine at each end of the central fuselage.
A twin-turboprop regional airliner developed through Swedish and American industrial cooperation.
A small open gyroplane with an unpowered rotor and pusher propulsion.
Grumman’s small twin-engine amphibian: a flying boat with retractable wheels and a life spanning wartime service, private travel and seaplane training.
A cabin-class piston twin designed for commuter, cargo and utility work.
A twin-turboprop family whose smaller conventional-tail and larger T-tail branches have distinct identities.
A wooden touring-aircraft family recognisable by the upward-angled outer wing panels.
The purpose-built Ryan monoplane used by Charles Lindbergh for his 1927 solo Atlantic crossing.
A small three-engine demonstrator created to explore technologies for a future supersonic airliner.
A pressurised cabin-class piston twin, from the tip-tanked 414 to the longer-wing 414A and its many aftermarket conversions.
A twin-engine business jet designed to retain some of the utility flexibility associated with the PC-12.
A small observation-helicopter family with a rounded cabin and compact rotor system.
A specialised reconnaissance aircraft designed for very high altitude and sustained supersonic flight.
A compact racing aeroplane built around a large radial engine and very short fuselage.
A four-seat composite touring and training aircraft developed from Diamond's smaller two-seater.
A First World War trainer that became a familiar sight in the barnstorming era.
An open, single-seat ultralight with its propeller behind the pilot.
A tandem-seat autogyro prototype developed around transport and observation roles.
A modern composite twin with a roomy cabin and two wing-mounted piston engines.
A pressurised touring twin whose piston and turbine-conversion versions make a particularly interesting comparison.
A four-engine Airbus wide-body developed in parallel with the A330.
A four-seat high-wing single that spans generations of conventional instruments and glass cockpits.
A single-engine utility helicopter known as the Écureuil, Squirrel and AStar.
