JA 37 Viggen

File Description:
JA37 Viggen for X-Plane 6.51-6.6 - Since most Viggens are being done for version 7 (Austin's contest) I decided to do this one for version 6.5-6.6. Take off in less than 18 seconds in a quarter of a mile with this powerful plane. Load different weapons on numerous hard points. Make sure to put all of the parts in the weapons folder.

F104G Starfighter 6.4/6.51

File Description:
F104 G Starfighter v1.0 for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 Developed under weapons program 303 in the early 1950's by Lockheed's famous skunkworks the F104 was referred to as "the missile with the man in it" due to its rocket like shape. It was the first jet aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight and also the first jet to exceed mach 2. Over 2500 F104s were produced for the US and for export. The F104G had a J65 10,000 lb. thrust engine without afterburning and 15,800 lb with afterburning. Some remained in active service in Tiawan into the late 1990's. Rocket assisted NF104 aircraft set an altitude record for ground takeoff aircraft of 120,800 over Rogers dry lake in December 1963. Look for more century series aircraft coming soon for X-Plane.

China Clipper Martin M-130 for X-Plane 6.40/6.51

File Description:
China Clipper or Martin M130 for X-Plane 6.40/6.51 - Built by the Martin Company for Pan American Airlines, they were known by the company as Martin Ocean Transports. Only three of these aircraft were built, the China Clipper, the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper. To the public, China Clipper became a generic name and originally was applied to all three of the Martin M-130's in Pan Am's fleet and, later, even to the Boeing B-314's which came later. With 4-950 HP radial engines giving a cruising speed of 163 mph and with a range in excess of 3200 miles the "Clippers" were used in the pacific by Pan Am. The "China Clipper" on November 22, 1935 inaugurated the first trans-pacific postal service with 111,000 letters; it returned to San Francisco on December 6, 1935. In 1936 the Hawaii Clipper and Philippine Clipper inaugurated paying passenger service to the Philippines and Hong Kong respectively. These were the original "Clippers" for those including the Boeing B134 to follow. Look for the B134 soon for X-Plane. Just a note : since landing gear skids are used for the wing braces X-Plane thinks that the plane has landing gear and will actually place it on the ground at the airport you select, choose an airport near water and then request a seaplane takeoff or pick a location and altitude on the regional or planet map.

Boeing B314 Clipper for X-Plane 6.40/6.51

File Description:
Boeing B314 Clipper v1.0 for X-Plane 6.4/6.51- Built for Pan American Airways to expand their Clipper fleet, they also saw service for the US Navy and BOAC. The "clipper" name was appropriate because the Sikorsky S42, the Martin M130 (also available for X-Plane on AVSIM) and the Boeing B314 opened up long distance air lanes in 1930's and 40's the same way that the clipper ships opened up sea trade in the late 1800's. The model flies very well and is as accurate as the limited plans available to me. Due to limitations in shaping airfoils the outside rudders are actually engine nacelles (jets with 5 lb of thrust) and the lower wing is also an engine nacelle. The rear section of the fuselage is actually a gas tank or float section used to get better detail in the fuselage. As all of my models the exterior paint and panel can use a lot of work. What you see here is approximately 6-8 hours of modelling/decorating? work plus 16-20 hours or more of test flights. Number built: total 12, 6 A314's built with upgraded engines and increased range Engines: 4 - 1,600 HP, Wright R-2600, Twin Cyclone ,14 cylinder, air-cooled, radial engines. Wing Span: 152 ft. Length: 106 ft Max GW: 84,000 lb. Max level speed: 193 mph Cruising speed: 183 mph Range: 3,500 (5,200 A314) miles First flight: June 7, 1938, last retirement 1951. Ceiling: cruise 13,400, maximum 19,600 feet Accommodation: 10 crew, 74 (36 night) passengers.

A6E Intruder for X-Plane 6.4

File Description:
A6E TRAM Intruder V.1.0 for X-plane 6.40 Copyright (c) November 2002 by Robert App. Some would say not the prettiest plane in the world but a deadly part of the US carrier task force, proven both in Vietnam and the Gulf War. Built by Grumman, the TRAM is a version of the A6E released in the late 1970's with improved laser guided weapons delivery, enhanced computers and an automatic carrier landing capability. The attached information gives the complete history of the plane and its various derivatives since first delivered to the Navy in February 1963. Version 1 is missing folding wings and fuel probe which will be fixed in a future update.

Spruce Goose for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 (hk-1/H-4 Hercules)

File Description:
Spruce Goose v1.0 for X-Plane copyright (c) by Robert App, January 2003. History of the "Goose" - Officially designated the HK-1 (this project started out as a join venture between Hughes Aircraft and Kaiser) and later designated the H-4 Hercules after Kaiser was unable to work with Howard. It was and still remains the largest (physical dimensions wingspan and length) aircraft ever built, with the largest radial engines ever built by the West (28 cylinder, 3000 HP). The plane had to be constructed mainly of wood due to the shortage of strategic metals caused by WWII. The plane became known as the "Spruce Goose" or "Flying Lumberyard" despite the fact that the wood frame and skin were constructed mainly of laminated poplar; it also involved "sandwich" construction. The plane was flown briefly on a trial taxiing run but Hughes never allowed the plane to be flown again. Speculation has always been rampant that the design was flawed and the plane could not have met the original specification requirements. The X-Plane model is as accurate as is possible with limited plans available to me. The main wing is an X-Plane standard symmetrical high lift airfoil as opposed to the high lift asymmetrical foil section used in the actual plane. The main wing angle of attack has been adjusted to emulate the asymmetrical foil as closely as possible. Flight Testing the Goose - I have spent many hours testing the plane on X-Plane which with few exceptions provides a very accurate flight model. The published landing speed (79 mph) pretty well verifies the takeoff speed of 52 to 55 knots (k/hr x 1.15 (approx.) = mph). In straight flight the plane is difficult to stall since the nose quickly drops and increases speed if a stall develops with a significant loss of altitude. The plane has a range on 14000 gallons of fuel and takeoff weight of 350,000 Lbs of well over 3000 nautical miles. San Diego to Wake Island via Midway Attol is a piece of cake with lots of fuel to spare at 350,000 lb GW. The plane is flyable at a GW of over 410,000 lb but climb rate is very sluggish (max 400-600 fpm) and loss of speed due to excessive side slip can cause a fatal stall, in straight flight the plane is difficult to stall. So far my conclusion is that with todays materials and jet engines (which may be a future project) this aircraft could probably be competitive in performance with todays planes. With aluminum alloys that were available during its construction its performance would probably have exceeded the initial requirements.

F5E Plus Tiger III v1.0

File Description:
F5E Plus Tiger III v1.0 for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 - The F5E Plus Tiger III is an upgrade of the F5E/F Tiger II and did not involve upgrades to the engines or airframe, avionics and electronics were substantially upgraded. The F5A Freedom Fighter was originally developed by Northrop as a light, fast, maneuverable and inexpensive fighter. Deliveries began in August 1964 and its various versions have been sold to many countries besides the US, including, Brazil, Canada, Greece, Chile, Honduras, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Sudan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia and Yemen. Capable of speeds near mach 2 and a combat radius of 875 miles it is one of the most agile military aircraft ever produced.

DC-101+ VTOL Aircraft

File Description:
This seems like a basic DC-9 right? Well no this amazing aircraft has 6 powerful engines, and VTOL capablities. It can hover, fly backwards, fowards, vertically. It works well with an incredibly short take-off but can also have a complete vertical lift-off! It if build could revoultionize the sirliner industry flying at well over 600mph and taking off on an area as small as a helipad. Nevertheless it is easy to do a conventional take-off using the whole runway. I think the cockpit controls are easy to use. But this plane takes a little bit of getting use to and is not an incredibly stable platform. Note: The DC-101+ take off best going 100% throtle at about a 50deg engine angle.
