Lockheed L749 Constellation - X-plane 6.3

File Description:
At long last my "Project 749" comes to fruition. Totally rebuilt from my earlier efforts, this new Connie features all new fuselage, wing/body fillet, cockpit, and most importantly, 3 rounded tails fins all with working rudders, no small feat I can assure you. Colors are of Capital airlines, callsign is "capital 860". There is some color bleed on the gear doors - required to get all the parts and working features needed, but its a small compromise. Performance matches actual speeds, with plenty of power, and this graceful lady of the skies will throttle back to correct cruise speed.

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.

B25 Mitchell for X-Plane 6.40/6.51

File Description:
B25 Mitchell for X-Plane 6.40/6.51. Made famous by the Doolittle raid on Tokyo shortly after Pearl Harbour the B25 Mitchell bomber is the most famous medium bomber of WWII and perhaps of all time. The B25 was the most numerous twin engine aircraft built by the US during WWII; estimates of production vary from 9300 to 11000 built. On April 18, 1942 Doolittle led sixteen B-25 aircraft from the navy carrier, U.S.S. Hornet to bomb Japan in retaliation for that country's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Although little damage was done and all planes were lost the raid proved to be one of the most famous missions of the war. The B25 was powered by a pair of 1,700 hp Wright R-2600-29 "Cyclone" 14 cylinder, air-cooled engines. Maximum speed was 272 mph at 15,000 ft, with a ceiling of 24,000 ft and a range of 1350 miles with a full load of bombs. Armament varied considerably in the B25 depending on the type of mission the plane was designed for. Heavenly Body is a B25J designed as a bomber, so it carried eleven 0.50 caliber machine guns; two in the top turret, two in the tail, one in the nose, two in cheek packs on each side under the pilot and one in each waste window. The top, nose and cheek pack guns could also be used in strafing, if so desired. This version carried 3,000 lbs of bombs (usually six 500 pounders) in an interior bomb bay. The X-Plane version is a fairly faithful rendition of the B25. The body consists of two sections consisting of the fuselage and a fuel tank. The main engine nacelles actually consist of two nacelles, one is the 1700 HP engine, the rear section is a 5 lb thrust rocket. Engine nacelles are also used for the two rudders in order to get the correct shape. Vertical stabilizers with rudders are buried within the nacelles. Decoration of the plane is complicated by the use of multiple nacelles but the resulting compromise is acceptable though not an authentic replica. As usual my panel leaves a lot to be desired but version 2 will correct this.

F-111F Aardvark For X-Plane 6.40/6.51

File Description:
F-111F Aardvark for X-Plane 6.40/6.51 - After a prolonged development period in which many, many problems had to be identified and fixed, the F-111 turned out to be one of the most effective all-weather interdiction aircraft in the world. Although highly critisized by some as being an unsafe and dangerous plane, the F-111 series of aircraft established the best safety record of any of the aircraft in the Century Series of fighters with only 77 aircraft being lost in a million flying hours (that's hours not miles). There was no other aircraft in service with the USAF which could carry out the F-111's mission of precise air strikes over such long ranges in all-weather conditions. Although the aircraft has left USAF service, it still serves with distinction with the Royal Australian Air Force and may very well continue there until 2020. The original concept for the F111 was for both a USAF and US Navy version. Weight problems led to cancellation of the Navy version in 1968. The F111 was the first swing wing fighter, the first with a side by side escape capsule for the operators and the first able to cruise at over mach 1 without after burning. It was also the first bomber with greater than mach 2.5 capability. The F version has a wingspan of 63.0 ft. spread, a length of 73.5 ft. and is powered by two 25,100 lb static thrust engines with afterburning. Gross takeoff weight is 100,000 lb., maximum ordinance 31,000 lb and internal fuel 5025 USgal. Range is greater than 2500 nm with internal fuel and service ceiling is above 60000 ft.

B36 C for X-Plane 6.51

File Description:
B36 C Peacemaker for X-Plane 6.51 - The B36 Peacemaker was the last propeller driven bomber put into service by the US. With 6 - 3500 Hp radial engines and a gross takeoff weight of 410,000 lbs the early versions like the A and B variants (downloadable on AVSIM as version 1.0) were woefully underpowered. This file is the later version with 4 - 5200 lb static thrust jet engines added. Never called into active service the B36 provided the US long range nuclear determent until the jet B52 came into service. The B36 is a huge airplane with a large payload capacity, 10000 mile range and long endurance. See the read me file for distribution and copyright information. Wingspan: 230 feet Length: 162 feet Wing Area: 4770 square feet Maximum Take-off Weight: 410,000 pounds Maximum Bomb Payload: 2x 48,000 pound Grand Slam bombs Powerplant: 6x 3500 hp R4360 radial engines, 4X 5,200 pound J47-GE-19 turbojets
