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.

Cessna CH-1 Skyhook

The CH-1 brought Cessna's familiar light-aircraft styling into a helicopter programme. It used a front-mounted piston engine and a two-blade main rotor; the Army evaluated the design as the YH-41 Seneca. Although the design achieved altitude milestones, it did not become a commercial or military success comparable with Cessna's fixed-wing range.

Avionics choices persist between flights

The tablet saves avionics selections and allows several radio/GPS arrangements. The manual explains which selected GPS can drive the HSI and autopilot, including a limitation when the Working Title GNS 530 occupies NAV2. Confirming a changed arrangement reconfigures the avionics and disengages the autopilot.

Watch the electrical system respond

A live tablet schematic shows powered connections, inactive equipment and circuit paths. This gives the simmer a visual way to follow the electrical model as aircraft switches and equipment change state. It complements the analogue cockpit with a diagram of what the simulation is doing.

A standalone Caravan with several working configurations

Black Square's Caravan Professional is a standalone aircraft, distinct from its earlier Analog Caravan expansion. The manual describes wheeled, cargo and amphibious configurations, a new exterior and cabin model, sounds and interactive aircraft features. Its analogue cockpit and systems form a different product from both the bundled glass-cockpit Grand Caravan and an instrument-panel replacement for it.
