FS2002/FS2004 Unreal Aviation "Alien". Unreal Aviation "Alien" ball-shaped Airship with a ribbed, back-spinning envelope to improve lift and reduce drag. The ball shape makes it very easy for a ground crew of just one to dock the ship with its mooring pad, a heavy truck and the machine is no more difficult to handle than a tethered balloon. Controlled entirely by its vectored ducted fans, there are no aerodynamic control surfaces at all and a computer takes care of stability. In light airs, it is possible to position the aircraft with great accuracy making it perfect for holding station over a fixed point or flying tight patterns in a confined area. Another advantage of the ball shape is strength. She is not as 'pressure limited' as conventional airships and can fly at greater altitudes than most. The ribs also add strength and help to trap a layer of air close to the surface of the envelope and serve the same purpose as dimples on a golf ball. Two diesel-electric generators provide the energy to spin the ball and power the electric ducted fans. The downside to the ball shape is the cruise performance is still not as good as a conventionally shaped machine despite the backspin. It would also be complicated and expensive to build.... However, for rescue, surveying and filming it is perfect. Designed specifically for FS2002 but works in FS9 using the alternative AIR file provided.

FS2002/FS2004 Unreal Aviation "Atlas". Unreal Aviation "Atlas" ball-shaped Airship inspired by the work of Hokan Colting. Little more than a balloon that can be steered, this is probably the simplest airship design imaginable. The ball shape makes it very easy for a ground crew of just one to dock the ship with its mooring pad, a heavy truck and the machine is no more difficult to handle than a tethered balloon. Controlled entirely by its vectored ducted fans, there are no aerodynamic control surfaces at all and a computer takes care of stability. In light airs, it is possible to position the aircraft with great accuracy making it perfect for holding station over a fixed point or flying tight patterns in a confined area. The downside to the ball shape is the terrible cruise performance and complete lack of dynamic stability. It is also fairly useless in any kind of wind. However, for advertising, surveying and filming it is perfect. Designed specifically for FS2002 but works in FS9 using the alternative AIR file provided.

FS2002/FS2004 Junkers Ju EF-132. Luft'46 Art Aircraft Series No.14. This is the last aircraft of Junkers in WW II. It was the culmination of the Ju287 design that started in 1942. The shoulder-mounted wings were swept back at a 35 degree angle and featured a small amount of anhedral. Six Jumo 012 jet engines, each of which developed 2500 kp 5500 lbs of thrust, were buried in the wing roots. At the stage where making of the mockup and the wind tunnel test had been done, the plan was canceled. However, the concept was succeeded by a large-scale bomber of the Soviet Union of postwar days.

FS2002/FS2004 Douglas A2D-1 SkyShark. This is an aircraft that installs two reformative turboprop engines based on A-1 SkyRaider. Two parallel Allison XT-40 is arranged, and a double contrarotating propeller is driven through the gear. The body becomes remarkably tall, and the exhaust port is opening in a right and left rear fuselage. Though high performance to surpass A-1 far by the test flight was shown, the expectation of the practical use of the XT-40 engine did not leave, and development was discontinued.

FS2002/FS2004 Unreal Aviation "Crow", tailless homebuilt. The crescent wing is one of the oldest planform configurations that offers great stability and efficiency and is currently being looked at by Dewald. "Crow" is a fictitious representation of the sort of 'flivver' that homebuilders in the fifties thought everyone would be flying because it would be so easy and safe. She certainly is safe with her benign stall and forgiving handling. The performance is relatively sprightly too for 80 HP with a 120 KIAS cruise. There is also a huge margin between cruise and VNE.

FS2002/FS2004 Fairchild Dornier Do-328-110, Southeast Asian Airlines SEAIR, RP-C5328. Southeast Asian Airlines SEAIR is the first to operate this kind of aircraft in the Philippine. It is used to carry people to and from key regions of the Philippines wherein bigger aircraft could not operate. Features Semi-Photorealistic Textures, Semi-Reflective Textures and Default Night Lightings all encoded at DXT3 bitmaps with no mips for better quality.

FS2002/FS2004 Unreal Aviation Enterprise IV Airship. 700 ft long Nuclear-Powered semi-rigid airship with a pressurised double-walled inflatable skin. Smallest ! in a new range of super airships, the Enterprise IV can remain aloft for months at altitudes above the weather and can belt along at over 120 KIAS, which, for an airship is really moving. With four vectoring props and X configuration control surfaces she has an agility that belies her huge dimensions and yet, despite her great bulk she can be manoeuvred precisely and needs only a skeleton ground crew. With a full-featured autopilot, she can be flown by silver-tube drivers with ease and can even fly down an ILS. Although designed specifically for FS2002 this aircraft will work in FS9 using the alternative AIR file provided.
