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.

Velocity XL

Velocity developed the XL from its smaller SE kit aircraft. The enlarged design uses a canard ahead of the main wing and a rear-mounted pusher propeller. Black Square documents the equipment and systems of its simulator interpretation separately from the real-aircraft specifications.
