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.

The Bü 131 Jungmann is represented by Lionheart as a fixed-tailwheel biplane without wing flaps. Its cockpit includes an elevator-trim lever. The liveries share the package's documented control configuration.

Lionheart also adds an explicitly fictional altitude/heading autopilot as a simulator convenience. The manual notes that starting a flight airborne can enable that assistant.
