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.
Comco Ikarus C42B
The C42B is a light high-wing aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear and a Rotax powerplant. Comco’s catalogue lists both 80-hp 912 UL and 100-hp 912 ULS configurations, with model and weight approvals kept separate from the later C42 C/CS.
The manufacturer’s handbook identifies aileron pushrods, an elevator pushrod and rudder cables. It also documents an elevator trim tab, mechanical flap control and a brake lever. These linkages give the cockpit a direct mechanical-control arrangement around its light-aircraft structure.
C42B LTF-UL-2019 issue 1, 540 kg configuration.
Concorde
Concorde was a supersonic airliner developed jointly by Britain and France.
British Airways fleet specification
Convair B-36H Peacemaker
The B-36 family combined six piston-powered propellers with four turbojets in a long-range strategic bomber. A Smithsonian curator describes the family's Cold War deterrent role. The selected source does not give H-specific equipment or service history.

Couzinet 71 Arc-en-Ciel
The Couzinet 71 Arc-en-Ciel has three piston engines and fixed tailwheel landing gear. Restauravia describes its flight model as approximate, with historical questions still unresolved. The cockpit checklist includes pitch trim; two flight-controller-labelled instruments display turn and slip.

CubCrafters XCub
CubCrafters introduced the XCub in 2016. It retains the braced high wing and compact tandem cabin associated with Cub-style aircraft while incorporating a modern airframe and equipment. The conventional-gear XCub is joined by the nosewheel NXCub.
The undercarriage distinction is visible before entering the cockpit and changes the aircraft's ground-handling arrangement. Simulator products identify the XCub and NXCub separately.
