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.

Mudry CAP 10 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Mudry CAP 10

The CAP 10 developed from the Piel Emeraude and entered civilian and military aerobatic instruction. A wooden airframe and curved low wing carry two occupants side by side.

The design passed through several manufacturers and later structural developments. Those changes account for the different company names and variant descriptions in its references.

NAMC YS-11

NAMC developed the YS-11 as a pressurised, low-wing regional airliner with Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops. It brought Japan's postwar aircraft industry into the market connecting smaller cities as airlines moved from piston engines to turbine power.

Airlines used the YS-11 for passengers and freight. Military operators in Japan and Greece also employed the family in transport, surveillance and electronic-warfare roles.
