The F/A-18C is the single-seat member of the legacy Hornet C/D pair. NAVAIR describes the A–D family as a twin-engine aircraft for fighter and attack missions. The two-seat D, earlier A/B aircraft and later E/F Super Hornet have separate variant identities.

The KC-10 adapted the DC-10 wide-body trijet for military tanker work. It retained the broad fuselage and tail-mounted centre engine while adding refuelling equipment and military systems. US Air Force service ran from 1981 to 2024.
The Extender combined fuel transfer with passenger and cargo transport. The simulator documentation describes which tanker and cargo functions are modelled.

McDonnell Douglas MD-11 · Rotate · Rotate · X-Plane 11 · X-Plane 12
Rotate's MD-11 v1.20 release covers both passenger and freighter versions. It adds SimBrief requests through ACARS/AOC pages, forecast winds, flight-plan import options and an alternative tape-style engine display. The release also revises manual handling, LSAS and control-wheel-steering behaviour. Some changes are explicitly X-Plane 12-only, so the simulator version remains part of the feature's scope.
Rotate MD-11 v1.20 · Developer release announcement and change list
The MD-11 developed the DC-10 with a longer fuselage, winglets and a two-pilot electronic flight deck. It retained the trijet arrangement, including the centre engine at the base of the fin. Passenger and freighter versions served different markets.
Automated systems and fuel management formed part of the new design. Each simulator developer documents the systems, failures and variants included in its implementation.

The MD-80 enlarged the DC-9 with a stretched fuselage, a larger wing and later JT8D engines. It first flew in 1979 and entered airline service in 1980, retaining the rear engines, T-tail and unobstructed wing.
MD-81, MD-82, MD-83 and other versions differ in equipment and capabilities. The simulator manuals describe their represented cockpits and control-tab arrangements.

The manual identifies pitch trim and no wing flaps. Its choke uses the simulator's Spoiler axis, so that assignment operates an engine control. The listed 55–65 mph cruise, 28–31 mph stall and 100 mph Vne retain their original mph units.

Mooney's M20 family developed through numerous low-wing, four-seat touring aircraft. Engines, equipment and fuselage dimensions changed between versions, including the later Ovations. The photographs and specification tables identify the family member described by their sources.
Restauravia's MS.733 Alcyon has a 240 hp piston engine, retractable landing gear and flap settings of 16 and 32 degrees. The cockpit combines an airspeed indicator in knots, an altimeter in feet and a vertical-speed indicator in hectometres per minute.
