FS2002/FS2004 Unreal Aviation TiltWing Super STOL research aircraft. A fictitious design based upon a workable concept. Back in the 1950's and -60's, various designers attempted the tilt-wing as a faster alternative to the helicopter that would also be capable of carrying a greater payload. Almost all of these tilted the entire wing with its engines, two or four, 90 degrees to the vertical so that they would be capable of hovering and true vertical flight and as a result were horribly complicated. The Kaman Company, in conjunction with Grumman reasoned that if you were prepared to do away with actual vertical takeoff, a lot of this complication could be removed by simply limiting the tilt angle to 50 degrees and in the early 1960's they designed and built the Kaman K-16 using a Grumman Goose fuselage and custom wings to prove the concept. Sadly, the design never flew but showed promise in the wind tunnel. This aircraft is based upon the Kaman concept and fits nicely within the limitations of Flight Simulator in that it can't take off or land truly vertically but it can hover by 'hanging on its props'. MANUAL installation only.

FS2002/FS2004 Douglas DC-7B. This is a fictional repaint of a DC-7B, modified for pylon racing, inspired by the feat of Clay Lacy, who raced a gutted DC-7 freighter "Super Snoopy" in the 1977 Reno air races... download the Reno2.zip scenery, this is getting hard to find these days, so it will take some looking, and take her for a spin.

FS2002 Halcom Starlite Micro-Light. The Rotax 912 engine is by Byron Warwick. This imaginary plane has twin flying rudders and a flying elevator. The canopy opens shift-E and there are more moving parts. Construction should be from composites and aluminum.
