The SubSonex is an experimental, single-place,
amateur-built jet from Sonex Aircraft's "Hornet's Nest"
development division. The aircraft is often referred to in the
industry as a "microjet".
SubSonex JSX-1 demonstration
flight, JSX-1 prototype The JSX-1 is a single place, single
engine, jet aircraft similar in design to an Onex, with a
Waiex style Y tail, fixed main landing gear and a retractable
nosewheel. It was introduced at AirVenture 2009. It is powered
by a Czech-built PBS TJ-100 turbojet engine mounted above the
aft fuselage, with the exhaust exiting between the Y-tail. The
SubSonex achieved first engine test runs in December 2009. The
engine produces 1100 N (240 lb) of thrust. Originally
developed with only a central mono pod wheel, tail wheel and
small wing tip outriggers, the prototype exhibited directional
controllability problems during taxi-tests.
The production model of the SubSonex is the
JSX-2. The landing gear was changed to a fully retractable,
pneumatically-operated, tricycle configuration. It was flight
tested by Jet-sailplane performer Bob Carlton in August 2011.
At AirVenture 2013 the company began taking US$10,000
deposits on production kits. The projected price of the kit
was US$125,000 in 2013 and US$135,000 in 2014.
The
first JSX-2 kit was shipped to a customer in February 2015 and
was completed and flown in October 2015.

Be-200 Altair (Russian: Бериев Бе-200) is a multipurpose
amphibious aircraft designed by the Beriev Aircraft Company
and manufactured by Irkut. Marketed as being designed for fire
fighting, search and rescue, maritime patrol, cargo, and
passenger transportation, it has a capacity of 12,000 litres
(3,170 US gallons) of water, or up to 72 passengers.
The name Altair was chosen after a competition amongst Beriev
and Irkut staff in 2002/2003, as a reference to the name of
the alpha star in the Eagle constellation and because: "Al" is
the first part of the name of the Beriev A-40 Albatross
amphibious aircraft, whose layout was the development basis
for the creation of the Be-200; "ta" stands for Taganrog; and
"ir" stands for Irkutsk.
The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: "Annushka" or "Annie";
"Kukuruznik" - corn crop duster; USAF/DoD reporting name Type
22, NATO reporting name Colt.) is a Soviet mass-produced
single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed
and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in
1946. Its remarkable durability, high lifting power, and
ability to take off and land from poor runways have given it a
long service life. The An-2 was produced up to 2001 and
remains in service with military and civilian operators around
the world.
The An-2 was designed as a utility aircraft
for use in forestry and agriculture. However, the basic
airframe is highly adaptable and numerous variants of the type
have been developed; these include hopper-equipped
versions for crop-dusting, scientific versions for atmospheric
sampling, water-bombers for fighting forest-fires, flying
ambulances, float-equipped seaplane versions and lightly armed
combat versions for dropping paratroops. The most common
version is the An-2T 12-seater passenger aircraft (will
available in full pack of An-2).
This
is the most detailed version of any plane seen in Vehicle
Simulator, the size of download is very big. The author of
this plane has an amazing story to tell about it, he is a
pilot of this plane and flew it in extreme conditions. This
plane was made by
Maxim Isaev
The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: kukuruznik, "maize farmworker", inherited from the earlier Polikarpov Po-2; also nicknamed "Annushka" or "Annie")
is a single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR in 1946. (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt.)
The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft, agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane.
Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments.
The Guinness Book of World Records states that the
45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
This package includes
four planes, the standard An-2, the
Polar Exploration An-2, the Floats version An-2, the TVS-2MS, all these
planes are very well made, with components, animations, and
excellent flight model.
An additional package with outsdanding skins and fire fighting
capabilities was added to the
Fire
Flight page.

The Grumman J2F Duck (company designation G-15) was an
American single-engine amphibious biplane.
It was used by each
major branch of the U.S. armed forces from the mid-1930s until
just after World War II, primarily for utility and air-sea
rescue duties.
It was also used by the Argentine Navy, who
took delivery of their first Duck in 1937. After the war, J2F
Ducks saw service with independent civilian operators, as well
as the armed forces of Colombia and Mexico.
The J2F was
an improved version of the earlier JF Duck, with its main
difference being a longer float.
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seat carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The delta winged, single-engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy's pre-1962 designation system.
The Skyhawk is a lightweight aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg) and has a top speed of more than 670 miles per hour (1,080 km/h). The aircraft's five hardpoints support a variety of missiles, bombs and other munitions. It was capable of carrying a bomb load equivalent to that of a World War II-vintage Boeing B-17 bomber, and could deliver nuclear weapons using a low altitude bombing system and a "loft" delivery technique. The A-4 was originally powered by the Wright J65 turbojet engine; from the A-4E onwards, the Pratt & Whitney J52 was used.
Israel was the largest export customer for Skyhawks. The Skyhawk was the first U.S. warplane to be offered to the Israeli Air Force, marking the point where the U.S. took over from France as Israel's chief military supplier. Deliveries began after the Six-Day War, and A-4s soon formed the backbone of the IAF's ground-attack force. In IAF Service, the A-4 Skyhawk was named as the Ayit (Eagle).
In October 2008, it was decided due to maintenance issues that the A-4 Skyhawk fleet would be withdrawn and replaced by more modern aircraft, able to perform equally well in the training role and, if required, close support and interdiction missions on the battlefield. Some of Israel's A-4s were later exported to Indonesia. The Skyhawks have been replaced by F-16s in combat roles but are still used for pilot training. All the remaining A-4s aircraft were to be fully phased out beginning by 2014 as the IAF accepts delivery of Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master jets.
This great airplane model has been made by Pascal Dumat &
Thomas Brueckelt Original model by Anders Lejczak and original texture by
Neil Wilson.
The Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master is a military twin-engine
transonic trainer aircraft. The type is currently operated by
the air forces of Italy, Israel, Singapore and Poland.
Originally co-developed with Yakovlev as the Yak/AEM-130,
partnership ended in 2000 and Alenia Aermacchi separately
developed the M-346 Master while Yakolev continued work on the
Yakovlev Yak-130. First flight of the M-346 took place in
2004. The M-346 is designed for training combat pilots for
front line fighter aircraft. It is capable of transonic
flight without using an afterburner, which is designed to
reduce acquisition and operating costs. Two engines and
triple-quadruple redundant systems enhance reliability.
The aerodynamic design of the M-346 uses vortex lift to
provide manoeuvrability and controllability at very high angle
of attack (up to 40° degrees) using a fly-by-wire control
system.
The aircraft is powered by two Honeywell F124
engines, and uses a digital flight control system by
Teleavio/Marconi in collaboration with BAE Systems, Dowty and
Microtecnica for actuators. The new IBC (Industrial
Baseline Configuration) prototype includes a new air brake
just behind the cockpit, similar to the Sukhoi Su-30, new
landing gear and some structural changes, with the use of more
titanium and composite parts in order to reduce weight and
production costs. As a result, the prototype weighs 780 kg
less than the existing model, providing faster acceleration
and climbing, increased maneuverability and max speed, as well
as improved fuel capacity (200 kg) and cockpit visibility.
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer
aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for
a "C-39" (C for civlian trainer) during the 1960s to replace
the L-29 Delfin as the main training aircraft.[2] It was the
first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first
turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as
the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with
Garrett TFE731 engine).
A further development of the
design, the L-159 ALCA, began production in 1997. To date,
more than 2,800 L-39s have served with over 30 air forces
around the world. The Albatros is the most widely used jet
trainer in the world; in addition to performing basic and
advanced pilot training, it has also flown combat missions in
a light-attack role. Atypically, it has never received a NATO
reporting name.
At the Farnborough Airshow in July
2014, Aero Vodochody announced the launch of the L-39NG, an
upgraded and modernised version of the L-39.
The BD-5 Micro is a series of small, single-seat homebuilt aircraft
created in the late 1960s by US aircraft designer Jim Bede and introduced
to the market primarily in "kit" form by the now-defunct Bede Aircraft Corporation
in the early 1970s.
The BD-5 has a small, streamlined fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under
a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the
fuselage, and a propeller or jet engine in the BD-5J variant, mounted immediately
to the rear of the cockpit.
In total, only a few hundred BD-5 kits were completed, although many of these are
still being flown today. The BD-5J version holds the record for the world's lightest
jet aircraft, weighing only 358.8 lb (162.7 kg).
BD-5A is the main piston engined production kit with a short-span wing and constant pitch propeller.
As a result of early flight tests the original "butterfly" tail unit was replaced by a conventional
fin and rudder, with an all-moving horizontal "stabilator".
Aft end of fuselage terminates as a deep knife-edge section to provide directional stability.
The Micro is an extremely small one-seat design that looks more like a jet fighter than a "prop plane".
BD-5B is the main piston engined production kit with extended span wings and
constant pitch propeller. The "B" wings possess a slower rate of roll and good gliding
and low speed handling qualities.
The BD-5T is a turboprop version of the BD-5 using a Quantum H-95 turbine powering
a Quantum III variable-pitch propeller. The plane has stretched-out fuselage.
which remained is the basic concept of the fighter-like pusher aircraft.
While the new Hirth engine was being tested, Bede decided to create a variant of the BD-5 with a small jet engine.
The result was the sleek BD-5J (also known as the "Acrostar Jet"), a 300 mph (260 kn; 480 km/h) aircraft.
The design used the Sermel TRS-18-046 turbojet which produced 225 lbf (1.00 kN) thrust.
The wing was modified to an "intermediate" size between the original A and B wings, with a 17 ft (5.2 m) span.

The German Bücker Bü 131 "Jungmann" (Young man) was a 1930s basic training aircraft which was used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
Sturdy and agile, the Bü 131A was first delivered to the Deutscher Luftsportverband
(DLV). The Bü 131B was selected as the primary basic trainer for the German
Luftwaffe, and it served with "virtually all" the Luftwaffe's primary flying schools during the war, as well as with night harassment units such as Nachtschlacht Gruppen (NSGr) 2, 11, and
12. Yugoslavia was the main prewar export customer; "as many as 400 may have found their way"
there. She was joined by Bulgaria with 15 and Rumania with 40.
The SP-YPZ belongs to the "Flugwerk Mannheim" which is a club in Germany keeping
historic planes flying!
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938.
The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service.
The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war.
It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been
built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.
This great add-on includes three variants of the plane,
P40, P40E, P40N.
The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine, four-seat, composite aircraft, built by Cirrus Aircraft starting in 2001.
It is a more powerful version of the Cirrus SR20, with a larger wing, higher fuel capacity, and a 310 horsepower (231 kW) engine.
It is extremely popular among purchasers of new aircraft and has been the world's best-selling single-engine, four-seat aircraft for several
years.
Like the Cessna 400, but unlike most other aircraft in its class, the SR22 has fixed (non-retractable) landing gear.
The aircraft is perhaps best known for being equipped with the Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System (CAPS), an emergency parachute capable of lowering the entire aircraft (and occupants) to the ground in an
emergency.
This great add-on comes with two variants of the plane, one
with analog instruments and one with the G1000 glass cockpit.
The IAI Lavi (Hebrew: "Lion") was a single-engined fighter aircraft developed in Israel in the 1980s.
Developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the choice to develop the Lavi was controversial, both with the Israeli public due to the enormous associated costs and particularly with the U.S. government due to competition with American fighters on the export market.
These issues led to its ultimate cancellation.
The Lavi was planned to be the mainstay of the Israeli Air Force, and considerable export sales for the aircraft had been forecast.
The uniqueness of its design was in the combination of a small, aerodynamic, highly maneuverable plane, with sophisticated, software-rich systems, low armed drag, and the ability to carry a large payload at high speed and over long distances.
As of 2012, two of the prototypes have been preserved, and have been on public display.
Some sources have alleged that, following the Lavi's cancellation, design aspects of the aircraft have been used in the development of other fast jet aircraft.
The Diamond DA40 Diamond Star is an Austrian four-seat, single engine,
light aircraft constructed from composite materials.
Built in both Austria and Canada, it was developed as a four-seat version of the
earlier DA20 by Diamond Aircraft Industries.
Based on the success of the earlier DA20 two-seat aircraft, the company
designed a four-seat variant, the DA40.
The DA40 is a four-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane made from composite materials.
It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and a T-tail.
The Rotax 914 powered prototype DA40-V1, registered OE-VPC, first flew on the 5 November 1997 and was followed
by a second prototype DA40-V2 (registered OE-VPE) which was powered by a
Continental IO-240. In 1998 a third prototype DA40-V3 flew powered by a
Lycoming IO-360 engine. Four more test aircraft were produced followed
with the first production aircraft in 2000.
JAR23 certification of the IO-360 production variant was obtained in October 2000.
In 2002 the production of the Lycoming engined variant was moved to Canada and the
Austrian factory concentrated on diesel-engined variants.
The Diamond DA20 is a two-seat tricycle gear general aviation aircraft
designed for flight training. In addition to its role as a civil and
military training aircraft, it is also used for personal flying by pilot-owners.
The first DA20 was the Rotax 912 powered A1 Katana produced in Canada in
1994.
It was the first Diamond aircraft available for sale in North America.
Production of the Continental IO-240-B3B powered C1 Evolution and Eclipse
models began in 1998, also in Canada.
Production of the A1 Katana is complete but the DA20-C1 is still being constructed in 2010.
The DA20-A1 and C1 are both certified under CAR 523 in Canada and under FAR 23 in the
USA. The DA20 is certified in the utility category, and it is permissible to
intentionally spin it with flaps in the full up position.
This plane was owned and flown by yours truely between
2008-2012, it is a great plane to fly, simple and fun, has
also an amazing safety record and glides very well.
The PZL P.11 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed in the early 1930s by PZL in Warsaw.
It was briefly considered to be the most advanced fighter aircraft design in the
world.
The PZL P.11 served as Poland's primary fighter defence in the Polish campaign of 1939, but by that point was outdated due to rapid advances in aircraft design in comparison to more advanced contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane and Messerschmitt Bf
109.
The Grumman C-2 Greyhound is a twin-engine, high-wing cargo aircraft, designed to carry supplies and mail to and from aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
Its primary mission is carrier onboard delivery (COD).
The aircraft provides critical logistics support to carrier strike groups.
The aircraft is mainly used to transport high-priority cargo, mail and passengers between carriers and shore bases, and can also deliver cargo like jet engines and special stores.
Prototype C-2s first flew in 1964 and production followed the next year.
The initial Greyhound aircraft were overhauled in 1973.
More C-2s were ordered in the 1980s.
Further improvements to the C-2 have followed.

The Airbus A321 � offers airline customers the best seat-mile
costs of any single-aisle aircraft and seating capacities
comparable to that of a widebody jetliner.
This aircraft has a stretched fuselage with an overall length of
44.51 metres, along with an extended operating range of up to
3,000 nautical miles while carrying a maximum passenger payload.
Like each member in Airbus� best-selling A320 Family of jetliners,
the A321 offers the lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise
footprint in its class.
The A321 typically accommodates 185 passengers in a two-class configuration (16 in first class and 169 in economy) � while
offering unbeatable economics in high-density seating (with up to
220 passengers) for charter and low- cost operators.
The twin-engine A321 can be powered by either of two engine
options: the CFM International CFM56 or International Aero
Engines� V2500.
This add-on containes two versions of this plane, Portugal
and Air France.
The BD-5 Micro is a series of small, single-seat homebuilt aircraft
created in the late 1960s by US aircraft designer Jim Bede and introduced
to the market primarily in "kit" form by the now-defunct Bede Aircraft Corporation
in the early 1970s.
The BD-5 has a small, streamlined fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under
a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the
fuselage, and a propeller or jet engine in the BD-5J variant, mounted immediately
to the rear of the cockpit.
The combination of fighter-like looks and relatively low cost led to the BD-5 selling over 5,000 kits or plans, with approximately
12,000 orders being taken for a proposed factory-built FAA certified version.
However, few of the kit versions were actually completed due to the company's
bankruptcy in the mid-1970s, and none of the factory built "D" models produced,
brought on by the failure to deliver a reliable engine for the design.
In total, only a few hundred BD-5 kits were completed, although many of these are
still being flown today. The BD-5J version holds the record for the world's lightest
jet aircraft, weighing only 358.8 lb (162.7 kg).

The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: kukuruznik, "maize farmworker",
inherited from the earlier Polikarpov Po-2; also nicknamed "Annushka" or "Annie")
is a single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR
in 1946. (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt.)
The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft,
agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane.
Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved
fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and
other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the
45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any
aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

Klemm L.25, later Klemm Kl 25 was a successful German low-winged, cantilevered, light leisure
and training aircraft, developed in 1928.
More than 600 aircraft were built, and manufacturing licenses were sold to the United Kingdom and
the United States.
The aircraft was developed by Hanns Klemm who used his previous design, the Klemm Kl 20,
as a starting point. About thirty different versions of the Kl 25 were made, and these were equipped with
engines ranging from 32 kW to 70 kW.
The fuselage was covered with plywood.
Depending on the model, the aircraft's weight was 620 to 720 kilograms, and it had a 10.5 m to 13 m wingspan.
Take-off was achieved at only 50 km/h and the maximum speed was between 150 and 160 km/h.
In relation to similar aircraft of the time, assembly was very easy, and this made it
a very popular aircraft.
According to the sales brochures, only 25% of the engine's power was needed to keep
the aircraft flying, compared to similar-type biplanes which required 50% engine power.
This beautiful plane has been made by Marcel
Aerni
The prototype Fly Baby first flew in 1962, It is now on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
Variants included a biplane version called the Bowers Bi-Baby or Fly Baby 1-Band several
dual cockpit designs by various builders.
Bowers also designed a side-by-side two-seat version he called Namu, but few examples have been built,
The Fly Baby was the winner of the
Experimental Aircraft Association's 1962 design competition.
Over 500 Fly Babies have been completed to date, with scores still flying worldwide and an active network
of builders and owners.
It is built from plans and was designed to be constructed in a garage using only basic hand tools,
by a person of average "home handyman" skill in 1962.
The plans consist of over one hundred pages of typewritten instructions and dimensioned drawings.
After Bowers death in 2003 the plans were unavailable for a time, but as of 2007
they were available again.
The FK14 Polaris Light Plane distinguishes itself not only because of its outstanding panorama view, but also due to its low fuel consumption which in turn allows far-ranging hauls. A modern, electric Fowler flap system allows wing extension of up to 20%. This makes cruising speeds of up to 250 km/h possible even starting from very short runways! The winglets on the ailerons optimize control efficiency.
The large one-part cabin hood opens easily with the help of gas-driven spring-openers and permits easy boarding. The ergonomic, adjustable moulded seats are designed for long and still relaxing journeys.
The Boeing 737 is a short to medium range, single aisle, narrow body jet airliner. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has nine variants with the -600, -700, -800 and -900 currently in production.
Originally envisioned in 1964, the 737 first flew in 1967, and entered airline service in February 1968. The 737 is Boeing's only single-aisle, narrow-body airliner currently in production, sometimes serving markets previously filled by 707, 727, 757, DC-9 and MD-80/90 airliners.
The 737 has been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967 with 6,348 aircraft delivered and 2,061 orders yet to be fulfilled as of March 2010. The 737 series is the best selling jet airliner in history. There are on average 1,250 737s airborne at any given time, with one departing or landing somewhere every five seconds. The 737 primarily competes with the Airbus A320 family.
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to attack both ground and aerial targets. The F/A-18 was derived from the YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations. It has been the aerial demonstration aircraft for the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, since 1986.
The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.
The F/A-18C is the single-seat variant and the F/A-18D is the two seat variant. The D-model can be configured for training or as an all-weather strike craft. The "missionized" D-model's rear seat is configured for a Weapons and Sensors Officer to assist in operating the weapons systems. The D model is primarily operated by the U.S. Marine Corps in the night attack and FAC(A) (Forward Air Controller (Airborne)) roles.
Sport plane for aerobatics with high flight
capabilities and
outstanding manoeuvrability.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 50 nations. In December 2006 the C-130 became the fifth aircraft�after the English Electric Canberra, B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95, and KC-135 Stratotanker�to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer, in this case, the United States Air Force. The C-130 is also the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for 50 years with its original customer, as the updated C-130J Super Hercules.
Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service the family has participated in countless military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.
