FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS

Research aircraft and systems

Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.

Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

VSKYLABS 902X-NTR

VSKYLABS' 902X-NTR is a simulator testbed inspired by the MD 902 Explorer's no-tail-rotor configuration. Its cockpit and systems differ from the MD 902.

The X-Plane 12 product includes the standard 902X and the extended-range 902eX with external fuel tanks. Both variants belong to the VSKYLABS design.
