Fun Fact
The 1-11 was the second short-haul jet airliner to enter service, following the French Sud Aviation Caravelle.

The British Aircraft Corporation One-Eleven, aka the BAC 1-11, was a British short-range jet airliner widely used from the 1960s to the 1990s. The aircraft was also produced under licence in Romania during the 1980s as the Rombac One-Eleven.

The One-Eleven was conceived by Hunting Aircraft and developed by the British Aircraft Corporation when Hunting merged into BAC along with other British aircraft manufacturers in 1960. The One-Eleven was intended to replace the turboprop Vickers Viscount on short-range routes. The One-Eleven entered the market ahead of rivals such as the Douglas DC-9-10, which gave it a temporary edge on the market.
The aircraft proved popular with domestic airlines and various international operators. Over half of the One-Eleven's sales at launch were to the US. The One-Eleven was one of the most successful British airliner designs, and served until a widespread retirement in the 1990s, which was partly due to the introduction of aircraft noise restrictions in many European nations. As of May 2019, no BAC One-Eleven aircraft remain in service following Northrop-Grumman's retirement of their last aircraft.

Fun Fact: On May 23, 2006, Boeing delivered the final two 717s to Midwest Airlines and AirTran Airways. The 717 was the last commercial airplane produced at Boeing's Long Beach facility in Southern California.

The Boeing 717-200 twinjet was specifically designed for the short-haul, high-frequency 100-passenger airline market. The airliner was designed and originally marketed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95, a derivative of the DC-9 family.
After McDonnell Douglas was acquired by Boeing in August 1997, most industry observers expected that Boeing would cancel development of the MD-95. However, Boeing decided to go forward with the design.
The launch customer, AirTran Airways of Orlando, Fla., took delivery of the first 717 in September 1999.

Boeing's decision to go ahead with the 717 slowly began to pay off. Early 717 operators were delighted with the low maintenance costs, easy to service Rolls-Royce engines, aircraft availability at over 99%, and high passenger appeal and decided to order more.
Increased competition from regional jets manufactured by Bombardier and Embraer took a heavy toll on sales during the airline slump after 2001. In January 2005, citing slow sales, Boeing announced that it planned to end production of the 717 after it had met all of its outstanding orders. Boeing built a total of 156 717s.
As of June 2018, the Boeing 717 had not had any hull-losses or fatalities.

The Boeing 737 Classic is the name given to the -300/-400/-500 series of the Boeing 737. They are short- to medium- range, narrow-body jet airliners produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The Classic series was introduced as the 'new generation' of the 737. Produced from 1984 to 2000, 1,988 aircraft were delivered. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has developed into a family of nine passenger models with a capacity of 85 to 215 passengers.
The 737-400 design was launched in 1985 to fill the gap between the 737-300 and the 757-200, and competed with the Airbus A320 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80. It stretched the 737-300 another 10 ft (3.45 m) to carry up to 168 passengers. It included a tail bumper to prevent tailscrapes during take-off (an early issue with the 757), and a strengthened wing spar. The prototype rolled out on January 26, 1988, and flew for the first time on 19 February 1988.  The aircraft entered service on September 15, 1988, with launch customer Piedmont Airlines (25 aircraft ordered). The 737-400F was not a model delivered by Boeing but a converted 737-400 to an all cargo aircraft. Alaska Airlines was the first to convert one of their 400s from regular service to an aircraft with the ability to handle 10 pallets. The airline has also converted five more into fixed combi aircraft for half passenger and freight.

The Boeing 737 Next Generation (Boeing 737NG), is the name given to the -600/-700/-800/-900 series of the Boeing 737. They are short- to medium-range, narrow-body jet airliners.

Produced since 1996 by Boeing, the 737NG is sold in four sizes seating typically 110 to 210 passengers. The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a two-class layout, or 189 in one class, and competes with the A320.

The NG improvements include more efficient CFM56-7B turbofans, the new wing with greater chord, span and wing area, larger tail surfaces and the 777 style EFIS flightdeck with six flat panel LCDs. A HUD is optional. Unlike the other Next Generation 737s, the -800 and -900 introduced new fuselage lengths.

The 737-900 is the longest variant to date. Because the −900 retains the same exit configuration of the −800, seating capacity is limited to 189 in a high-density 1-class layout, although the 2-class number is higher at approximately 177. Alaska Airlines launched the 737-900 in 1997 and accepted delivery on May 15, 2001. The 737-900 also retains the MTOW and fuel capacity of the −800, trading range for payload. These shortcomings until recently prevented the 737-900 from effectively competing with the Airbus A321.
Upgraded and re-engined models in development as the 737 MAX series will eventually supplant the 737NG.

As of July 2018, 52 -900s, 465 -900ERs, and seven -900 BBJ3s have been delivered with 40 unfilled orders.

Following Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas, the 737-800 also filled the gap left by Boeing's decision to discontinue the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and MD-90 aircraft. For many airlines in the U.S., the 737-800 replaced aging Boeing 727-200 trijets.


As of July 2018, 6,343 Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft were in commercial service. This comprised 39 -600s, 1,027 -700s, 4,764 -800s and 513 -900s.

X-PLANE 11 VERSION

The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, a narrow-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA). It succeeds the Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG). It is based on earlier 737 designs, re-engined with more efficient CFM International LEAP-1B engines, aerodynamic changes, which include its distinctive split-tip winglets, and airframe modifications.

The new series was publicly announced on August 30, 2011. The 737 MAX took its maiden flight on January 29, 2016 and the series gained FAA certification in March 2017. The first delivery was a MAX 8 in May 2017, to Malindo Air, with whom it commenced service on May 22, 2017.

The 737 MAX series has been offered in four variants, offering 138 to 204 seats in typical two-class configuration and a 3,215 to 3,825 nmi (5,954 to 7,084 km) range. The 737 MAX 7, MAX 8 (including the denser, 200–seat MAX 200), and MAX 9 are intended to replace the 737-700, -800, and -900, respectively. Additional length is offered with the further stretched 737 MAX 10. As of December 2019, the Boeing 737 MAX had received 4,932 firm orders and delivered 387 aircraft.

In the aftermath of its two fatal accidents, Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, the Boeing 737 MAX was grounded worldwide in March 2019 until Boeing implements changes to its flight control system and pilot training. Boeing suspended production of the Boeing 737 MAX in January 2020.

Following its introduction in 1969, the Boeing 747 became a major success with airlines and the flying public. As the world's first wide-body jetliner, the 747 had revolutionized air travel, and cemented its manufacturer's dominance in the passenger aircraft market.

The first 747-400 (N661US) was delivered to launch customer Northwest Airlines on January 26, 1989, with service entry on February 9 with a flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix. This jet became known for an incident on Northwest Flight 85 caused by a rudder hardover. This was the twentieth anniversary of the 747-100's first flight. On May 31, 1989, Singapore Airlines operated the first international service using a 747-400, on a flight from Singapore to London.
The 747-400's leasing, resale and salvage value has dropped steeply because it is relatively expensive to operate. As many 747-400s are now more than 20 years old, airlines are beginning to replace them. Airlines using the 747-400 have accelerated its retirement (as of 2015) and are replacing the model with more fuel efficient aircraft. The main appeal of the 747-400 like its predecessors was its range rather than its capacity, and in many cases it has been replaced by wide-body twin-engine aircraft of similar range such as the Boeing 777 and Boeing 787.

The Boeing 767 is a wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The airliner was launched as the 7X7 project on July 14, 1978, the prototype first flew on September 26, 1981, and it was certified on July 30, 1982. The original 767-200 entered service on September 8 with United Airlines, and the extended-range 767-200ER in 1984. It was stretched into the 767-300 in October 1986, followed by the 767-300ER in 1988, the most popular variant. The 767-300F, a production freighter version, debuted in October 1995. It was stretched again into the 767-400ER from September 2000.

To complement the larger 747, it has a seven abreast cross-section, accommodating smaller LD2 ULD cargo containers. The 767 is Boeing's first wide-body twinjet, powered by General Electric CF6, Pratt & Whitney JT9D then PW4000, or Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofans. The aircraft has a conventional tail and a supercritical wing for reduced aerodynamic drag. Its two-crew glass cockpit, a first for a Boeing airliner, was developed jointly for the 757 − a narrow-body aircraft, allowing a common pilot type rating. Studies for a higher-capacity 767 in 1986 led Boeing to develop the larger 777 twinjet, introduced in June 1995.

In July 2018, 742 aircraft were in airline service: 73 -200s, 632 -300 and 37 -400 with 65 -300F on order; the largest operators are Delta Air Lines (77), FedEx (60; largest cargo operator), UPS Airlines (59), United Airlines (51), Japan Airlines (35), All Nippon Airways (34). The type's competitors included the Airbus A300 and A310.
In 2020 (upto March) Boeing had delivered 10 and received orders for 2 with production expected to continue to at least 2023.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner and is the world's largest twinjet. The 777-300 is 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer than the -200 and entered service in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER variant entered service in 2004.
The stretched 777-300 was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. Compared to the older 747s, the stretched 777 has comparable passenger capacity and range, but burns one-third less fuel and has 40 percent lower maintenance costs.
The -300ER, which combined the -300's added capacity with the -200ER's range, became the top-selling 777 variant in the late 2000s, gaining orders as airlines replaced comparable four-engine models with twinjets because of their lower operating costs.

777 Freighter
The 777 Freighter (777F) is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 224,900 lb (102,000 kg) (similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000 kg) of the Boeing 747-200F), it has a range of 4,970 nmi (9,200 km). Greater range is possible if less cargo weight is carried.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American long-haul, mid-size widebody, twin-engine airliner made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the first airliner with an airframe constructed primarily of composite materials. The 787 was designed to be 20% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 767. The 787 Dreamliner's distinguishing features include mostly electrical flight systems, raked wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles. It shares a common type rating with the larger Boeing 777 to allow qualified pilots to operate both models.
The airliner's maiden flight took place on December 15, 2009, and completed flight testing in mid-2011.
The 787's cabin windows are larger than any other civil air transport in-service or in development, with dimensions of 10.7 by 18.4 in (27 by 47 cm), and a higher eye level so passengers can maintain a view of the horizon.

787-9
Keeping the same wingspan as the 787-8, the 787-9 is a lengthened and strengthened variant with a 20 feet (6.1 m) longer fuselage and a 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg) higher maximum take-off weight (MTOW).

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is an American three-engine wide-body jet airliner. It features two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The DC-10 has range for medium - to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum of 380 passengers.

The DC-10 was intended as a successor to the McDonnell Douglas's DC-8 for long-range operations, using a wide-body layout to greatly increase the capacity of the aircraft. More powerful engines allowed it to be powered by three engines, the minimum allowed at that time for long over-water flights, which reduced maintenance costs relative to a four-engine design. Sales of the DC-10 fell dramatically; in August 1983, McDonnell Douglas announced that it would end production of the DC-10, citing a lack of orders for them. Airline industry consensus at the time was that the DC-10 had a poor reputation both for fuel economy and for its overall safety. In spite of the DC-10's early difficulties, it ultimately accumulated a good safety record, as design flaws were rectified and fleet hours increased, comparable to similar second-generation passenger jets, as of 2008.

DC-10-40

The Airbus A320 family are narrow-body airliners designed and produced by Airbus. The A320 was launched in March 1984, first flew on 22 February 1987, and was introduced in April 1988 by Air France.

In December 2010, Airbus announced the re-engined A320neo (new engine option), which entered service with Lufthansa in January 2016. With more efficient turbofans and improvements including sharklets, it offers up to 15% better fuel economy. Earlier A320s are now called A320ceo (current engine option).

In October 2019, it surpassed the Boeing 737 to become the highest-selling airliner. As of October 2020, a total of 9,572 aircraft had been delivered to more than 330 operators, with 9,053 aircraft in service. American Airlines was the largest operator with 425 airplanes. Orders pending were 6,010, for a total of 15,582 orders. The A320ceo initially competed with the 737 Classic and the MD-80, then their successors, the 737 Next Generation and the MD-90, while the 737 MAX is Boeing's response to the A320neo.

FSX Default Bell 206

G-DSIM repainted by Charley Zulu

Uses FSX default model, sounds and panel.

Fun Fact: On July 22, 1994, Ron Bower landed his 206B-3 (N206AJ) at Hurst, Texas, setting a new record for around-the-world flight by a helicopter. Bower had departed on June 24 and returned 24 days, 4 hours, 36 minutes and 24 seconds later, averaging 35.62 knots (40.99 mph, 65.97 km/h). Bower had added a 91-gallon auxiliary fuel tank, which doubled the JetRanger III's range.

The Bell 206 is a family of two-bladed, single- and twin-engined helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec plant.


The first Bell 206A flew on January 10, 1966. The basic shape and design of the JetRanger remained unchanged since 1967, but Bell introduced the 206B JetRanger II in 1971. In 1977, the 206B-3 JetRanger III was introduced with its modified tail rotor and more powerful engine. The JetRanger is popular with news media for traffic and news reporting. The LongRanger is commonly used as an air ambulance and as a corporate transport.

Original Aircraft model by Dave Hardcastle S61 Panel by Lynn Rogers Sounds by M.Ellis
UKDirect Textures provided by Charley Zulu.

Compatible with FSX, FSX:SE, FS2004, FS2002

Fun Fact: The Sikorsky S-61N was initially developed as the SH-3 SeaKing for finding and destroying submarines. It could also carry Exocet or Harpoon anti-ship missiles and was built under license in the UK. The S-61N was also used as a US presidential transport often seen on the lawn of the White House, known as Marine One

Version 2 features a cleaner repaint and an autopilot.

The Sikorsky S-61 designation was assigned to the company's first twin engine helicopter that was designed from the ground up to take full advantage of emerging turbo-shaft engine technology. This new model marked the end of reciprocating engine installations at Sikorsky and ushered in the era of the lighter and more compact turbine engines. The S-61 served all branches of the US Military as well as commercial airline service.
 
S-61L
The S-61L was designed in 1961 with a longer fuselage without sponsons for commercial passenger transport. It first flew on November 2, 1961, and was 4 ft 3 in (1.30 m) longer in order to carry a substantial payload of freight or passengers.

S-61N
This was followed by the S-61N which made its first flight on August 7, 1962.  Identical to the S-61L except for retaining the floats, this version was optimized for overwater operations, particularly oil rig support.  Both the S-61L and S-61N were subsequently updated to Mk II standard with improvements including more powerful CT58-110 engines giving better hot and high performance, vibration damping and other detail refinements. 
The first S-61N Serial No. 61143 was delivered to Mitsubishi Corporation on September 26, 1962.  This helicopter was still in service serving the Irish Coast Guard under a contract with CHC in 2013.  Although the last S-61N was delivered in May 1980, many S-61N helicopters are still in service in 2013. Many modifications have been made over the years including removing the front fuselage plug (the Shortsky) to save weight and increase external lift capability, removing the sponsons and replacing with S-61L style landing gear and many avionic upgrades as technology has progressed.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. First flown in 1955, more 172s have been built than any other aircraft.
Measured by its longevity and popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful aircraft in history. Cessna delivered the first production model in 1956 and as of 2015, the company and its partners had built more than 43,000. The aircraft remains in production today.

Cessna introduced a retractable landing gear version of the 172 in 1980 and named it the Cutlass 172RG.

The Cutlass featured a variable-pitch, constant-speed propeller and a more powerful Lycoming O-360-F1A6 engine of 180 horsepower (130 kW). The 172RG sold for about US$19,000 more than the standard 172 of the same year and produced an optimal cruise speed of 140 knots (260 km/h), compared to 122 knots (226 km/h) for the contemporary 160 horsepower (120 kW) version.

The 172RG did not find wide acceptance in the personal aircraft market because of higher initial and operating costs accompanied by mediocre cruising speed, but was adopted by many flight schools since it met the specific requirements for "complex aircraft" experience necessary to obtain a Commercial Pilot certificate (the role for which it was intended), at relatively low cost. Between 1980 and 1984 1177 RGs were built, with a small number following before production ceased in 1985.

Cruise speed: 122 kn (140 mph; 226 km/h)
Stall speed: 47 kn (54 mph; 87 km/h) (power off, flaps down)[83]
Never exceed speed: 163 kn (188 mph; 302 km/h) (IAS)[10]

The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a series of Light Four Seated Aircraft.  In 1967 Piper first introduced PA-28R-180 Cherokee Arrow which featured a constant speed propeller and retractable landing gear. The engine was powered by 180 Horsepower Lycoming O-360 engines. In 1969 the engine was upgraded to 200 horsepower, and the designation of the aircraft was changed to PA-28R-200.
Changes to the design included the same 12.7cm stretched fuselage that was introduced on the Cherokee Challenger and Cherokee Charger. With greater rear legroom and more baggage capacity, it is larger than its predecessors and has a larger horizontal tail and dorsal fin fillet.
All series of Piper Cherokee family are all-metal, unpressurised, single engine Piston powered aircraft with low mounted wings and tricycle landing gear. Piper designed the PA-28 to compete with the Cessna 172.

Fun Fact:  International Aviation Corporation (IAC) of Florida  planned to build 12 Trislanders under license - these were to be known as Tri-Commutairs however they were never built.

The Britten-Norman Trislander (more formally designated the BN-2A Mk III Trislander) is an 18-seat three-engined piston-powered civilian utility aircraft produced in the 1970s and early 1980s by Britten-Norman of Britain.
The aircraft were made on the Isle of Wight. They were also produced in Romania, and delivered via Belgium to Britain for their certification.
The Trislander is a development of the BN2A Islander and has exceptional low speed handling characteristics, extended endurance, increased payload, low noise signature and economical operating costs. Capable of taking off from a 450 metre long landing strip, the Trislander can readily operate from unprepared surfaces.

Fun Fact: Lancastrians were used during the Berlin Airlift to transport petrol; 15 aircraft made over 5,000 trips. In 1946 a Lancastrian operated by BSAA was the first aircraft to make a scheduled flight from the then-newly opened London Heathrow Airport.
www.amilarg.com.ar/avro-lancastrian.html
 

The Avro 691 Lancastrian was a Canadian and British passenger and mail transport aircraft of the 1940s and 1950s developed from the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber.
The Lancastrian was basically a modified Lancaster bomber without armour or armament and with the gun turrets replaced by streamlined metal fairings, including a new nose and tail section. The bomb bay was reduced in length,  faired over and used for additional fuel tanks. The initial batch was converted directly from Lancasters; later batches were new builds.
In 1945, deliveries commenced of 30 British-built Lancastrians for BOAC. On a demonstration flight on 23 April 1945, G-AGLF flew 13,500 mi (21,700 km) from England to Auckland, New Zealand in three days, 14 hours at an average speed of 220 mph (354 km/h).
The Lancastrian was fast, had a long range, and was capable of carrying a heavy load, but space inside was very limited as the Lancaster had been designed with space for its seven crew dispersed throughout the fuselage, and with the majority of the load being carried in the 33 ft (10.05 m) long bomb bay. Consequently, as passengers are bulky but low in weight, it was not suited to carry large numbers of passengers, but was suitable for mail and a small number of VIP passengers. BOAC used it for flights between England and Australia from 31 May 1945.

Fun Fact: The Super King Air family has been in continuous production since 1974, the longest production run of any civilian turboprop aircraft in its class.
 

The Beechcraft Super King Air family is part of a line of twin-turboprop aircraft produced by Beechcraft. The Model 200 and Model 300 series were originally marketed as the "Super King Air" family; the "Super" designation was dropped in 1996. They form the King Air line together with the King Air Model 90 and 100
 
The King Air 350 is based on the King Air 300 with a 3.4 ft (1.0 m) span increase and winglets, a 2.9 ft (0.88 m) fuselage stretch for an over 17 ft (5.2 m) main cabin, long enough for double club seating.

By 1988, Beechcraft had begun work on the replacement for the 300, it was introduced in 1990 and initially marketed as the Super King Air 350. It has two extra cabin windows on each side and MTOW was increased to 15,000 lb (6,750 kg); and continued to be produced until 1994. Like the 200 and B200 before it, a version with a large cargo door was developed, the Model B300C marketed as the "Super King Air 350C". The first deliveries of this model also took place in 1990. In 1998, the UltraQuiet active noise canceling system, made by Elliott Aviation, was added as standard equipment on all B300s.
The B300 model is still in production today (now marketed simply as the "King Air 350", the "Super" being dropped in 1996 as mentioned earlier), while the B300C is available for order

On June 13, 2005, Beechcraft announced that it was developing the King Air 350ER version of the B300 with extra fuel capacity in the engine nacelles and upgraded undercarriage to handle the extra weight.
On November 11, 2007, Hawker Beechcraft announced that the 350ER had been certified by the FAA

Full Beech 1900 package with custom panel, Virtual Cockpit and sound.
By Jean-Pierre Brisard and Bob May - Premier Aircraft Design.
 

The Beechcraft 1900C was developed directly from the Beechcraft Super King Air 200, the obvious change is the longer fuselage. Other improvements include more powerful engines and improved tail. The 1900 first flew on September 3, 1982.  The 1900 entered service in February 1984, with the first ExecLiner corporate version delivered in 1985.
The improved 1900C developed into the 1900D. The main changes on the 1900D was the substantially deeper fuselage with standup headroom. In addition it also introduced larger passenger and freight doors and windows, twin ventral strakes and auxiliary horizontal fixed tails.
The B1900 is designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft, corporate transport, and by the United States military and other governments.
A total of 695 Beechcraft 1900 aircraft were built, making this airliner the best-selling 19 passenger airliner in history.
With market trends favouring larger 50- to 90-seat regional jets, Raytheon ended production of the Beechcraft 1900 in October 2002. Many airlines continue to fly the 1900.

Cruise 260 kts
Ceiling 25,000 ft
Range 1,498 miles with 10 pax, UK Direct typically flies the 1900 over shorter distances mainly on internal domestic flights with higher seat occupancy.

A 34 seat twin turbo-prop short/medium range commuter airliner.
Originally designated as the SF340 (Saab-Fairchild), the aircraft first flew on 25 January 1983. When Fairchild exited the aircraft manufacturing business in 1985 after about 40 units, Saab continued aircraft production under the designation 340A and 159 units were built. The first improved development of the Saab 340 was the 340B. More powerful engines improved hot and high performance, while other changes included a greater span tailplane, a higher max takeoff weight and better range. All the 340Bs also had the active noise control system. 200 units were built with deliveries beginning in September 1989. The final third generation version, the 340B Plus, was delivered for service in 1994 and incorporated improvements that were being introduced at the same time in the Saab 2000. 100 units were built. The production run of Saab 340s typically seated between 30 and 36 passengers, with 34 seats being the most common configuration.
The Saab 340A & 340B are in service worldwide with small airlines and with larger airlines in the commuter/feeder role. There are also several military variants.
Saab ceased 340 and 2000 production in 1998.

Fun Fact: CLAUDIUS DORNIER: German pilot and founder of his eponymous aircraft building company. He worked for Graf von Zeppelin at the Zeppelin airship factory in Friedrichshafen before starting his own company which could claim the world's largest aircraft, the Do X, carrying more than 160 passengers.

The Dornier Do 228 is a twin-turboprop STOL utility aircraft, manufactured by Dornier GmbH (later DASA Dornier, Fairchild-Dornier) from 1981 until 1998. In 1983, Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) bought a production license and manufactured 125 aircraft. The Dornier 228 is capable of transporting up to 19 passengers or various cargoes. It is powered by a pair of Garrett TPE331 turboprop engines.
 
the first Do 228-100 entered service in the fleet of Norving in July 1982. The first operator of the larger Do 228-200 entered service with Jet Charters in late 1982.
Over the years, Dornier offered the 228 in upgraded variants and fitted with optional equipment for performing various special missions. In 1996, it was announced that all manufacturing operations would be transferred to India. In 1998, activity on the German production line was halted, in part to concentrate on the production of the larger Fairchild-Dornier 328 and in response to Dornier's wider financial difficulties.
The Do 228 features a supercritical wing consisting of a box formed from four integrally-milled alloy panels, while kevlar is used for the ribs, stringers, trailing edge and fowler flaps. The wing's leading edge is conventional alloy sheet metal.
This construction method cuts production times by 340 hours and reduces the weight by 15%. Both the fuselage and tail are of a conventional design, but make use of chemical milling in order to save weight.

In July 2017, 63 aircraft were in airline service.

Fun Fact: Perhaps unique among prewar aircraft, the DC-3 continues to fly in active commercial and military service as of mid 2018, more than eighty years after the type's first flight in 1935. There are still small operators with DC-3s in revenue service and as cargo aircraft.

The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear, powered by two 1,200 hp (890 kW) Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp radial piston engines.

The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before the war, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental US from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours and with only 3 stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies.

Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft and the DC-3 was no longer competitive due to its size and speed. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the Douglas DC-4 and Lockheed Constellation, but the design proved adaptable and useful on less glamorous routes.

Civil DC-3 production ended in 1942 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the C-47 Skytrain brought total production to over 16,000.

While the DC-3's and DC-4's civilian careers were interrupted by WW2, the opposite applies to the DC-6, which started off in response to a military airlift requirement, and went on to become Douglas' most successful four engined piston airliner.

The DC-6B was the epitome of the radial piston engine passenger aircraft. Powerful, noisy and smoky on engine start-up, the DC-6B was flown all over the world and opened up air travel on every continent. Originally designed in 1944 as the XC-112 military transport aircraft, the DC-6B was reworked into a civilian aircraft in order to compete with Lockheed’s Constellation. The aircraft was a true success story, with some of the 700 aircraft that were built still in service today, predominantly in cargo roles.

The first production DC-6 first flew in June 1946 and service entry, with United Air Lines, occurred on April 27 1947. However early service was not smooth with the fleet grounded for four months from November that year after two internal fuselage fires in flight, one being fatal, caused by fuel venting entering the cabin heater ram air intake. The DC-6B was also used heavily by the United States Air Force and Navy, known as the C-118B or VC-118 in military service, even serving as Air Force One.

Production ended in 1958 with 704 airframes delivered.

Max cruising speed 315 mph (507 km/h), Range:  2,610 nm (4,830 km) Max payload, 4,100 nm (7,600 km) Max fuel.

Fun Fact: C/N 45550 is displayed at Coventry Airport, United Kingdom. Built in September 1958, this aircraft spent most of its life in Southeast Asia, and after serving with the CIA and Royal Air Lao, it was bought by Air Atlantique Group in 1987. Its last commercial flight was on October 26, 2004. It was featured in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. No longer flying, it was converted into a static restaurant at Coventry airport, the "DC-6 Diner".

The Douglas DC-6 is a piston-powered airliner and transport aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1946 to 1958. Originally intended as a military transport near the end of World War II, it was reworked after the war to compete with the Lockheed Constellation in the long-range commercial transport market.

With its higher performance, increased accommodation, greater payload and pressurized cabin, it was a natural evolution of the DC-4.
Although the DC-6 had the same wingspan as the DC-4, its engines helped it fly 90 mph (145 kph) faster than the DC-4, carry 3,000 pounds (1350 kilograms) more payload and fly 850 miles (1368 kilometers) farther. The DC-6 could maintain the cabin pressure of 5,000 feet (1524 kilometers) while flying at 20,000 feet (6096 meters).

The larger, all-cargo DC-6A first flew Sept. 29, 1949; the larger capacity DC-6B, which could seat up 102 people, first flew Feb. 10, 1951. After the Korean War broke out in 1951, the military ordered DC-6As modified as either C-118A Liftmaster personnel carriers, as the Navy’s R6D transports or as MC-118As for aeromedical evacuation. Between 1947 and 1959, Douglas built a total of 704 DC-6s, 167 of them military versions.

By the end of the twentieth century, DC-6 airplanes were still flying around the world.

The ATR-72 is a twin-engine turboprop, short-haul regional airliner built by the French-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR [Avion de Transport Regional].The ATR-72 is a stretched development of the popular ATR-42 and was launched in January 1986.
Significant differences between the ATR-72 and the smaller and older ATR-42 include a 4.50m (14ft 9in) fuselage stretch and reworked wings. The ATR-72 makes much use of modern corrosion-resistant, composite materials (about 30%) to reduce weight including carbon fiber for its outer wings.
The ATR-72-500 was the third development of the base model and improved hot and high performance; certificated in early 1997. It features PW-127Fs driving six blade composite Hamilton Sundstrand propellers.
Passengers board using the rear door (which is rare for a passenger plane) as the front door is used to load cargo.
A tail stand must be installed when passengers are boarding or disembarking in case the nose lifts off the ground, which is common if the aircraft is loaded or unloaded incorrectly

The Bombardier Dash 8 or Q-Series, previously known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 or DHC-8, is a series of twin-engined, medium range, turboprop airliners. Introduced by de Havilland Canada (DHC) in 1984, they are now produced by Bombardier Aerospace. Over 1,000 Dash 8’s of all models have been built, the 300 is a 50–56 passenger version that entered service in 1989.

The Dash 8 competes against the likes of Saab’s 340, ATR 42 and Embraer Brasilia and was successful due in part to its early entry into the market when there was little competition and the fact the aircraft breaks even with about 1/3 of its seats filled. All models produced after 1996 include the Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration levels to nearly those of jet airliners. These were marketed as the Q series (Q200, Q300, and Q400).

In April 2008, Bombardier announced that production of the Classic versions (Series 100, 200, 300) would be ended, leaving the Series 400 as the only Dash 8 still in production. 671 Dash 8 Classics were produced, the last one delivered to Air Nelson in May 2008.

Cruise speed: 360 kts (414 mph, 667 km/h)
Range: 1,114 NM (1,282 SM, 2,063 km)
Service ceiling: 25,000 ft (7,620 m)

FUN FACT: The C-130 Hercules is the longest continuously produced military aircraft at over 60 years.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in the 1950s.

The initial production model, the C-130A, was powered by Allison T56-A-9 turboprops with three-blade propellers, The first flight of the prototype was made on 23 August 1954 from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California.
The C-130's lack of range became apparent and additional fuel capacity was added with wing pylon-mounted tanks
The C-130B model was developed to complement the A-models that had previously been delivered, and incorporated new features, particularly increased fuel capacity in the form of auxiliary tanks built into the center wing section and an AC electrical system. Four-bladed Hamilton Standard propellers were fitted as well as uprated engines.

In the 1990s, the improved C-130J Super Hercules was developed by Lockheed (later Lockheed Martin). This model is the newest version and the only model in production. Externally similar to the classic Hercules in general appearance, the J model has new turboprop engines, six-bladed propellers, digital avionics, and other new systems.

FSX Default Bombardier CRJ-700
G-UAFK

Uses FSX default sounds and panel.

The Canadian Bombardier CRJ700 is a regional airliner based on the Bombardier CRJ200. Design work on the CRJ700 by Bombardier started in 1995 and the programme was officially launched in January 1997. The CRJ700 is a stretched 70-seat derivative of the CRJ200. Seating ranges from 66 to 78. The CRJ700 features a new wing with leading edge slats and a stretched and slightly widened fuselage, with a lowered floor.

The aircraft is equipped with two General Electric CF34-8C1 engines. Depending upon payload, the CRJ700 can travel up to 2,250 miles (3,620 km) with current engines, and a new variant with CF34-8C5 engines will be able to travel up to 2,895 miles (4,660 km).

The CRJ700 comes in three versions: Series 700, Series 701, and Series 702. The 700 is limited to 68 passengers, the 701 to 70 passengers, and the 702 to 78 passengers. The CRJ700 also has three fuel/weight options: standard, ER, and LR. The ER version has an increase in fuel capacity as well as maximum weight, which in turn increases the range. The LR increases those values further.

Maximum speed is Mach 0.85 (556 mi/hr, 895 km/hr) at a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 m)
Basic cruise speed Mach 0.78 (829 km/h, 515 mph)
Maximum range 1,434 nmi (2,656 km; 1,650 mi)
ER: 1,732 nmi (3,208 km; 1,993 mi)

In 2007, Bombardier launched the CRJ900 NextGen to replace the initial version. Its improvements and conic nozzle enhances fuel economy by 5.5%. The new model has improved economics and a new cabin common to the CRJ700 NextGen and CRJ1000 NextGen.

The CRJ900 is a stretched 76–90 seat version of the CRJ700. The airplane is loosely based on the CRJ200 series with a few major improvements. The first CRJ900 (C-FRJX) was modified from the prototype CRJ700 by adding longer fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wings; it was later converted into the prototype CRJ1000 by installing longer fuselage plugs. The CRJ900 competes with the Embraer 175, and is more efficient per seat-mile, according to Bombardier.
The wing is wider with added leading edge slats, the tail is redesigned with more span and anhedral. The cabin floor has been lowered 2 inches which gains outward visibility from the windows in the cabin as the windows become closer to eye level height. Its maximum ground takeoff weight is 84,500 pounds.
The aircraft features two GE CF34-8C5 engines, 59.4 kN (13,400 lbf) thrust with APR. The engines are controlled by FADEC digital engine control instead of control cables and a fuel control unit. The environmental packs have a target temperature instead of a hot-cold knob. The cabin has a recirculation fan which aids in cooling and heating. The APU is a Honeywell RE220 unit which supplies much more air to the AC packs and has higher limits for starting and altitude usage.
In typical service the CRJ900 can cruise 8–10,000 ft higher with a slightly higher fuel burn and an average true airspeed of 450–500 knots, a significant improvement over its predecessor.

The Avro RJ series are upgraded developments of the BAe-146 family, and like the 146 was built in three fuselage length variants, the RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100. In 1990 British Aerospace first offered the improved RJ70 and RJ80, both of which were based on the 146-100. They would have seated 70 and 80 passengers respectively, but these two designs matured in the Avro RJ70 (officially Avro 146-RJ70) with improved FADEC equipped LF-507 engines and digital avionics. The 146-200 based Avro RJ85 was the first member of the new family to fly, on March 23 1992. The biggest member of the family, the 146-300 based RJ100, first flew on May 13 1992. The 146-100 based RJ70 was delivered from late 1993 but due to low customer interest, only 12 were sold. RJ improvements over the 146 include more reliable and efficient FADEC equipped AlliedSignal (now Honeywell) LF-507 engines, new "Spaceliner" cabin interior and a digital flightdeck. Weight and drag savings were introduced in 1996. The RJ100 was also offered as the RJ115 with extra emergency exits to seat 116 to 128 in a high density six abreast configuration. None were built however. The RJ was also offered as the Avro Business Jet, but also none of these were built. The RJ series was originally manufactured and marketed by Avro International Aerospace, a separate British Aerospace company, so named as RJ production was undertaken at the former Avro factory near Manchester (most 146s were built at Hatfield). Subsequent plans for a partnership with Taiwan Aerospace, which would have seen the RJ series built in Taiwan fell through and Avro subsequently became part of AI(R) to handle marketing, sales and support of British Aerospace (Avro and Jetstream) and ATR commercial aircraft. However, AI(R) disbanded in mid 1998 and the Avro RJ range became again a British Aerospace (later BAE Systems) product. The last RJ was delivered in 2002.

Fun Fact: The de Havilland DH 106 Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner. It was developed in response to a requirement for a pressurised, transatlantic mailplane that could carry non-stop, one long ton of payload at a cruising speed of 400 mph. The design was so advanced that de Havilland had to undertake the design and development of both the airframe and the engines as no engine existed with the specification de Havilland required.

The Comet 4 (including 4B/4C) was the most successful Comet - 77 were built, twice as many as all the other series put together.
 
The structure was completely revised, with heavier gauge skin, oval windows, and reinforcement around apertures and butt straps.

At its announcement in 1955, BOAC placed an order for 20 aircraft, and made history by opening the first jet service between London and New York. There were others who decided to choose the Comet, too. Pan Am hedged its bets, keeping its allocation of 3 Comets, but transferring the order to their subsidiary, Mexicana.

The Comet's relatively short take off and landing (compared to a Boeing 707) was an attractive feature. A special version was planned for internal American routes, called the 4A. It sacrificed fuel capacity for more seats, and had shorter wings to reduce drag at lower altitudes. The 4A didn’t happen, but a European equivalent, the 4B, was developed for BEA. It had capacity for up to 100 seats and an economical cruising speed of 530 mph at 23,500 ft; ideal for short city-hops. 18 Comet 4Bs were sold.

The Comet 4C was the most versatile, having the same wings and fuel capacity as the Comet 4, and the longer fuselage of the Comet 4B. It could either fly long distance, or medium distances with more seats.

The Airbus A300 is a short- to medium-range wide-body jet airliner. Launched in 1972 as the world's first twin-engined widebody the A300B4 (the 9th A300) first flew on 25 December 1974. Initial sales were poor but when the US FAA relaxed ETOPS rules Eastern Air Lines and Pan Am bought the model and were impressed with it's fuel efficiency compared to competing DC-10's and TriStars. Alarmed by the success of the A300, Boeing responded with the new Boeing 767.
A technologically advanced plane it influenced later subsonic airliner designs. The highlights include Advanced wings by de Havilland (later BAE Systems) with supercritical airfoil section for economical performance and advanced aerodynamically efficient flight controls. It was the first airliner to be fitted with wind shear protection, Advanced autopilots and Electrically controlled braking systems.
Later A300s incorporated other advances such as 2-man crew by automating the flight engineer's functions, an industry first, Glass cockpit, and wingtip fences (first introduced on the A310-300).
The basic fuselage of the A300 was later stretched (A330 and A340), and shortened (A310). The final production A300 made its initial flight on 18 April 2007, Airbus has announced a support package to keep A300s flying commercially until at least 2025. The A300 family eventually sold 878 with around 300 still in service.

The A319 is a minimum change, shortened derivative of the highly successful A320. After healthy sales of the A320/A321, Airbus turned its focus back to what was then known as the A320M-7, meaning A320 minus seven rows of seats. It provides direct competition for the Boeing 737–500/600. The A320 family share a wider fuselage than the competing Boeing and has a thinner, longer wing for fuel efficiency. The A319 has the longest range of any type in its size range. Other changes included reducing overwing exits from four to two and a smaller aft cargo door. Minor software programming changes were made to accommodate the different handling characteristics but otherwise the A319 shares the same fly-by-wire flight controls and state-of-the-art cockpit as the other A320 Family members meaning the A319, A320 and A321 can all be flown by pilots with the same type rating.
The A319 flew for the first time on August 25 1995 from Hamburg in Germany.
As of February 2012 there are 1,324 A319’s in service around the world with sales outstripping the A321. The A319 has the same engine options as the A320 but are de-rated due to the A319’s lower weight.

The  A320 family is in direct competition with Boeing’s 737 series. It is the most successful of Airbus' aircraft with over 7,610 delivered and 5,501 on order (as of June 2017). The first member of the A320 family—the A320—was launched in March 1984, and first flew on 22 February 1987.
The A320 family share a wider fuselage than the competing Boeing and has a thinner, longer wing for fuel efficiency. The current wingtip ‘fences’ are soon to be replaced with ‘sharklets’ (aka ‘winglets’) to reduce fuel consumption.

The A320 was the first civil airliner to include a full digital fly-by-wire flight control system. At the time of the aircraft's introduction, the behaviour of the fly-by-wire system equipped with full flight envelope protection was a new experience for many pilots. Its design also included a full glass cockpit rather than the hybrid versions found in previous airliners. The A320's flight deck is equipped with Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) with side-stick controllers. The A320 features an Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) which gives the flight crew information about all the systems of the aircraft.

The Airbus A320 family consists of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners manufactured by Airbus. The family includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, as well as the ACJ business jet. The A320s are also named A320ceo (current engine option) since December 2010, when Airbus announced a new generation of the A320 family, the A320neo (new engine option). The A320neo offers new, more efficient engines, combined with airframe improvements and the addition of winglets, named Sharklets by Airbus. The  A320 family is in direct competition with Boeing’s 737 series. It is the most successful of Airbus' aircraft with over 7,610 delivered and 5,501 on order (as of June 2017).

The largest of the A320 family the A321 was the first derivative of the successful A320, the major change being a stretched fuselage acheived by two fuselage plugs. Other differences include larger engines and tyres, strengthened undercarriage and some wing improvements. The cockpit remains the same and shares the same pilot type rating.
The A321-100 was the first stretch of the A320 but as the fuel tanks were unchanged it had a shorter range so Airbus soon launched the -200 with additional fuel tanks.
The A321-200 flew for the first time in December 1996 from Hamburg in Germany.

The A330-200F is a long range, shortened development of the standard A330, developed in part as a replacement for the A300-600R and a competitor to the 767-300ER.  Airbus launched development of the A330-200 in November 1995, followed by the first customer order, for 13 from ILFC, placed in February 1996. First flight was on August 13 1997, with certification and first customer deliveries,to ILFC/Canada 3000, in April 1998.

The A330-200 is based on the A330-300 and shares near identical systems, airframe, flightdeck and wings, the only major difference being the fuselage length.

The A330-200F is an all-cargo derivative of the A330-200 capable of carrying 65 t (140,000 lb) over 7,400 km (4,000 nmi) or 70 tonnes (150,000 lb) up to 5,900 km (3,200 nmi).

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and due to its size, many airports have had to expand their facilities to properly accommodate it. Designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 and entered initial commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development, before receiving the A380 designation.

The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft. This allows for an A380-800's cabin with 478 square metres (5,145.1 sq ft) of floor space; 49% more floor space than the next-largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400 with 321 square metres (3,455.2 sq ft), and provides seating for 525 people in a typical three-class configuration or up to 853 people in all-economy class configurations. The A380-800 has a design range of 15,400 kilometres (8,300 nmi; 9,600 mi), sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph at cruising altitude).

As of January 2012 there had been 253 firm orders for the A380, of which 69 have been delivered. The largest order, for 90 aircraft, was from Emirates.

Fun Fact: Although it was not the first jetliner in service, the 707 was the first to be commercially successful and is generally credited with ushering in the Jet Age.
The later 720, 727, 737, and 757 share elements of the 707's fuselage design.

The 707 was the first production American jet airliner that allowed the US to gain the lead in commercial jet transportation. The 707 remained in continuous production from the mid-1950s until 1977 with more than 1,000 aircraft produced. The 707 prototype, the Model 367-80 or "Dash 80" so-called because it was the 80th configuration of the Model 367 (military designation of C-97), made its inaugural flight on July 15, 1954.
The fuselage of the 707 had the same width as the C-97, but the sides were smoothed out and did not have the pronounced crease. The length of the tubular fuselage remained straight so that sections could be added for increased capacity. The wings and engine pylons were variants of the B-47 and B-52 but were more rigid with pronounced dihedral built in. Panels could be added at the wing roots to increase wing span. A distinctive feature of the 707 was the High Frequency (HF) boom antenna pointing forward at the top of the vertical stabiliser.
When commercial jets were first introduced, noise was a great problem and some jet airliners were barred from certain airports such as New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Stopping a heavy propeller-less airplane was another consideration. Boeing spent $15 million to develop both engine noise suppressors and thrust reverser systems as a solution.
Later derivatives included the shortened long-range 707-138, "hot and high" 707-220 and the stretched 707-320, all of which entered service in 1959. A smaller short-range variant, the 720, was introduced in 1960. The 707-420, a version of the stretched 707 with Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans, debuted in 1960, while Pratt & Whitney JT3D turbofans debuted on the 707-120B and 707-320B models in 1961 and 1962, respectively.

A short to medium range narrowbody airliner. Production of the 727 extended from the early 1960s to August 1984 -- a  remarkable length of time, considering the original market forecast was  for 250 airplanes. As it turned out, 1,831 were delivered. Twenty years  later, when the last 727 was delivered, this versatile fleet was  carrying 13 million passengers each month. As of January 2001, nearly  1,300 of the reliable aircraft were still in service. In all its variations, 1,245 of the -200s were sold. The last version,  the 727-200F, had a 58,000-pound, 11-pallet cargo capability.
Structural improvements, a more powerful engine and greater fuel  capacity led to the Advanced 727-200 in May 1971. This advanced series  had extended range, strengthened structure, better runway performance and  the option of more powerful engines and quieter engine nacelles. To meet ‘Stage 3’ noise requirements hushkit’s are fitted to all engines with additional acoustic treatment of the centre engine.
The last 727 to be delivered was a 727-200F to Federal Express on Sept. 18, 1984. Some 727s have been retro-fitted with winglets for improved performance.

The Classic series was introduced as the 'new generation' of the 737. Produced from 1984 to 2000, 1,988 aircraft were delivered. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has developed into a family of nine passenger models with a capacity of 85 to 215 passengers.
The 737-400 design was launched in 1985 to fill the gap between the 737-300 and the 757-200, and competed with the Airbus A320 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80. It stretched the 737-300 another 10 ft (3.45 m) to carry up to 168 passengers. It included a tail bumper to prevent tailscrapes during take-off (an early issue with the 757), and a strengthened wing spar. The prototype rolled out on January 26, 1988, and flew for the first time on 19 February 1988.  The aircraft entered service on September 15, 1988, with launch customer Piedmont Airlines (25 aircraft ordered). The 737-400F was not a model delivered by Boeing but a converted 737-400 to an all cargo aircraft. Alaska Airlines was the first to convert one of their 400s from regular service to an aircraft with the ability to handle 10 pallets. The airline has also converted five more into fixed combi aircraft for half passenger and freight.

The Boeing 737 Next Generation (Boeing 737NG), is the name given to the -600/-700/-800/-900 series of the Boeing 737. They are short- to medium-range, narrow-body jet airliners.
The first NG to roll out was a −700, on December 8, 1996. This aircraft, the 2,843rd 737 built, first flew on February 9, 1997 with pilots Mike Hewett and Ken Higgins.

The 737-700 was the first of the Next Generation series when launch customer Southwest Airlines ordered the variant in November 1993. The variant was based on the 737-300 and entered service in 1998. It replaced the 737-300 in Boeing's lineup, and its direct competitor is the Airbus A319. It typically seats 137 passengers in a two-class cabin or 149 in all-economy configuration.

The Boeing 757 is a twin-engine short-to-medium-range jetliner  incorporating advanced technology for exceptional fuel efficiency, low  noise levels, increased passenger comfort and top operating performance. The 757 offers other virtues as well, including great versatility by  reducing airport congestion. Although designed for short and medium length routes, the 757-200 has since been used in a variety of roles ranging from high-frequency shuttle services to transatlantic routes.
The 757 was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 757-200 entered service in 1983.
On Nov. 28, 2005, Boeing concluded the remarkable 23-year run of the 757 passenger airplane by delivering the final one to  Shanghai Airlines. The airplane is the 1,050th Boeing 757. The 757 is  one of seven commercial models that have sold more than 1,000 airplanes, and more than 1,030 of the 757s are still in service.
Production for the 757-200 totaled 913 aircraft, making the type by far the most popular 757 model.

The 757-200SF, a conversion of passenger 757-200s for cargo use, entered service with DHL Aviation in 2001. Modifications by Boeing Wichita in Kansas included the removal of passenger amenities, main deck structural reinforcement, and the installation of a 757-200PF forward fuselage section with a port-side cargo door. The forward two entry doors are retained, resulting in a main deck cargo capacity of 14 pallets, which is one less than the 757-200PF.  Environmental controls can be fitted for animal cargo, and rear exits and window pairs are retained on some aircraft. Besides Boeing, Israel Aerospace Industries and ST Aerospace Services have also handled 757-200SF conversions. In September 2006, FedEx Express announced a US$2.6 billion plan to acquire over 80 converted 757 freighters to replace its 727 fleet. In July 2011, 70 converted 757-200SFs were in service.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner and is the world's largest twinjet. The 777-300 is 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer than the -200 and entered service in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER variant entered service in 2004.

The stretched 777-300 was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. Compared to the older 747s, the stretched 777 has comparable passenger capacity and range, but burns one-third less fuel and has 40 percent lower maintenance costs.
The -300ER, which combined the -300's added capacity with the -200ER's range, became the top-selling 777 variant in the late 2000s, gaining orders as airlines replaced comparable four-engine models with twinjets because of their lower operating costs.
There are 464 777-300ER’s delivered with orders for over 700 more (Mar 14).

The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner and is the world's largest twinjet. The 777F Freighter is an all-cargo version of the twinjet, and shares features with the -200LR; these include its  airframe, engines, and fuel capacity. With a maximum payload of 226,000  lb (103,000 kg), cargo capacity is similar to the 243,000 lb (110,000  kg) of the 747-200F. The freighter has a range of 4,900 nmi (9,070 km)  at maximum payload.

As the aircraft promises improved operating  economics compared to existing freighters, airlines have targeted the  777F as a replacement for older freighters including the 747-200F,  DC-10, and MD-11F. The first 777F was delivered to Air France on  February 19, 2009.

Did you know: The 787's nine-abreast seating for economy provides passengers less space, particularly across the hips and shoulders, than any other jet airliner.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American long-haul, mid-size widebody, twin-engine jet airliner made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the first airliner with an airframe constructed primarily of composite materials. The 787 was designed to be 20% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 767. The 787 Dreamliner's distinguishing features include mostly electrical flight systems, raked wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles. It shares a common type rating with the larger Boeing 777 to allow qualified pilots to operate both models.
The airliner's maiden flight took place on December 15, 2009, and completed flight testing in mid-2011.
The 787's cabin windows are larger than any other civil air transport in-service or in development, with dimensions of 10.7 by 18.4 in (27 by 47 cm), and a higher eye level so passengers can maintain a view of the horizon.
The 787's cabin features light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as standard equipment, allowing the aircraft to be entirely 'bulbless' and the internal cabin pressure is increased to the equivalent of 6,000 feet (1,800 m) altitude instead of the 8,000 feet (2,400 m) on older conventional aircraft.
787-8
The 787-8 is designed to typically seat 234 passengers in a three-class setup, 240 in two-class domestic configuration, and 296 passengers in a high-density economy arrangement. With a typical capacity of 242 passengers and a range of 7,355 nautical miles, the -8 is the base model of the 787 family and was the first to enter service in 2011. The 787-8 is targeted to replace the Boeing 767-200ER and -300ER, as well as expand into new non-stop markets where larger planes would not be economically viable. Approximately 33% of 787 orders are for the 787-8 as of October 2017, with 348 delivered.

Fun Fact: On August 21, 1961, a Douglas DC-8 broke the sound barrier at Mach 1.012 (660 mph/1,062 km/h) while in a controlled dive through 41,000 feet (12,497 m) and maintained that speed for 16 seconds. The flight was to collect data on a new leading-edge design for the wing, and while doing so, the DC-8 became the first civilian jet – and the first jet airliner – to make a supersonic flight and was accompanied by an F-104 Starfighter chase aircraft flown by Chuck Yeager.

The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is a four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters.
DC-8 Series 62: The long-range Series 62 appeared in April 1967. It had two 40-inch (1.0 m) plugs fore and aft of the wing taking overall length to 157 feet 5 inches (47.98 m), and a number of modifications to provide greater range. 3 feet (0.91 m) wingtip extensions reduced drag and added fuel capacity, and Douglas redesigned the engine pods, extending the pylons and substituting new shorter and neater nacelles, all in the cause of drag reduction. The 18,000 lb JT3D-3B was retained but the engine pylons were redesigned to eliminate their protrusion above the wing and make them sweep forward more sharply, so that the engines were some 40 inches (1.0 m) further forward. The engine pods were also modified with a reduction in diameter and the elimination of the -50 and -61 bypass duct. The changes all improved the aircraft's aerodynamic efficiency. The DC-8 Series 62 is slightly heavier than the -53 or -61 at 335,000 pounds (151,953 kg), and able to seat up to 189 passengers, the -62 had a range with full payload of about 5,200 nautical miles (9,600 km; 6,000 mi), or about the same as the -53 but with 40 extra passengers. Also available as the cargo door equipped convertible -62CF or all cargo -62AF. Production included 51 DC-8-62s, 10 -62CFs, and 6 -62AFs.
As of July 2016, there were three DC-8s (all variants) in commercial service with CFS Air Cargo (2) and Trans Air Cargo Service (1). In addition, several DC-8s are in use as private aircraft with one also in use by NASA.

Fun Facts: The Trident performed the first automatic landing by a civil airliner in scheduled passenger service on 10 June 1965. It was the first airliner to make a blind landing in revenue service on 4 November 1966. The Trident was one of the fastest subsonic commercial airliners, regularly cruising at over 610 mph and the Trident's wing design formed the basis of the wing for the Airbus A300.

The Trident was a jet airliner of all-metal construction with a T-tail and a low-mounted wing. It had three rear-mounted engines: two in side-fuselage pods, and the third in the fuselage tailcone, aspirating through an S-shaped duct. One version, the 3B, had a fourth "boost" engine aspirated through a separate intake duct above the main S-duct. All versions were powered by versions of the Rolls-Royce Spey, while the boost engine was also by Rolls-Royce
 
The Trident had a complex, sophisticated and comprehensive avionics fit which was successful in service. This comprised a completely automatic blind landing system developed by Hawker Siddeley and Smiths Aircraft Instruments. It was capable of guiding the aircraft automatically during airfield approach, flare, touchdown and even roll-out from the landing runway.

Trident 2E
Trident 2E, E for Extended Range, also replaced wing leading-edge droop flaps with slats, and extended the span with Küchemann-style tips

The Trident experienced some key export sales, particularly to China. Following a thawing of relations between Britain and the People's Republic of China, China completed several purchase deals and more than 35 Tridents were eventually sold.
The beginning of the Trident's end came in the early 1980s, since ICAO began drafting noise regulations that would require first- and second-generation jet airliners to fit hush kits to the engines. Only 117 Tridents were produced, and none are in service any more.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is a three-engine medium- to long-range widebody jet airliner, manufactured by McDonnell Douglas and, later, by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Based on the DC-10, it features a stretched fuselage, increased wingspan with winglets, refined airfoils on the wing and smaller tailplane, new engines and increased use of composite materials. It also features an all-digital glass cockpit that decreases the flight deck crew from the three required on the DC-10 to two by eliminating the necessity for a flight engineer. The cockpit design is called Advanced Common Flightdeck and is shared with the Boeing 717.
The MD-11 was launched on December 30, 1986 with commitments for 52 firm orders and 40 options; its maiden flight was on January 10, 1990

The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, commonly referred to as the L-1011 (pronounced "L-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is a medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner by Lockheed Corporation. It was the third wide-body airliner to enter commercial operations, after the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airliner has a seating capacity up to 400 passengers and a range over 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km). Its trijet configuration has three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines with one engine under each wing, and a third engine, center-mounted with an S-duct air inlet embedded in the tail and the upper fuselage. The aircraft has an autoland capability, an automated descent control system, and available lower deck galley and lounge facilities.
The L-1011 TriStar was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original L-1011-1 first flew in November 1970, and entered service with Eastern Air Lines in 1972. The shortened, longer range L-1011-500 first flew in 1978, and entered service with British Airways a year later. The original-length TriStar was also produced as the high gross weight L-1011-100, up-rated engine L-1011-200, and further upgraded L-1011-250. Post-production conversions for the L-1011-1 with increased takeoff weights included the L-1011-50 and L-1011-150.

Development of the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar began in 1966 when American Airlines announced a need for a short to medium-range, large-capacity transport. In March of 1968, production began when Lockheed received orders for their design from TWA and Eastern Airlines. Although Production was slowed when Rolls- Royce, the developer of the L1011's engines, was forced to declare bankruptcy, Lockheed managed to deliver the Tristar for operation with Eastern and TWA in 1972.

UKDirect Textures should be compatible with FS2004 freeware Concorde by Libardo Guzman but not tested.

A lengthy development program following the Concorde's first flight on March 2 1969 meant that it did not enter into airline service until January 1976. A total of 20 aircraft were built in France and the United Kingdom.
The 128 seat Concorde was the first airliner to have a fly-by-wire flight-control system, double-delta wings and a droop nose system.

Because of the way Concorde's delta-wing generated lift, the undercarriage had to be unusually strong. At rotation, Concorde would rise to a high angle of attack, about 18 degrees. Due to the high angle needed at rotation, a small set of wheels were added aft to prevent tailstrikes. The rear main undercarriage units need to retract telescopically before swinging in order to clear each other when stowed.
On May 30 2003 the last commercial Air France flight landed back at Paris Charles de Gaulle from New York. The very last flight for Air France was made on June 27 2003 when F-BVFC flew from Paris to its place of construction in Toulouse for preservation.

Fun Fact: The performance of the VC10 was such that it achieved the sub-sonic record for a Trans-Atlantic crossing of just 5 hours 1 minute, a record which it still holds today.

The last of the Vickers built designs was the Type 1101 VC10, the first of which (G-ARTA) flew for the first time from Weybridge on 29th June 1962.  By this time and despite being named 'Vickers VC10', Vickers-Armstrongs themselves had already amalgamated to form part the Commercial Aircraft sector of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC).
 
The VC10 was closely constrained by its BOAC specification which required operation from short airfields in Africa at high altitudes and temperatures (hot and high). This suited a number of African and Middle Eastern operators but restricted its appeal worldwide. 

On 7th May 1964, the first Super VC10 (G-ASGA) flew for the first time before entering airline service with BOAC in April the following year.

BUA ordered the VC10, specifying a large forward cargo door, resulting in additional sales to Ghana Airways, East African Airways and, significantly, 14 aircraft for the RAF for use by Transport Command as the VC10 C.1 (later C.1K).The RAF aircraft were later augmented by additional examples (of both the VC10 and Super VC10) purchased from civil operators, the type being re-fitted to support air-to-air refuelling operations as the VC10 K.2 and K.3.  The VC10 tankers continued to serve the RAF operating from Brize Norton until 20th September 2013 although the last recorded flight was that of ZA147 which landed at Bruntingthorpe on 25th September 2013, bring to an end 51 years of VC10 service.

The Beechcraft Baron is a light, twin-engined piston aircraft originally developed by Beech Aircraft Corporation and currently manufactured by the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. The Baron is a variant of the Beechcraft Bonanza, more specifically the Travel Air, and was introduced in 1961.

Barons come in three basic types: the Baron 55 (short body), Baron 56  (short body) and Baron 58 (long body), with several sub-variants each.

the larger, more powerful Baron 58 was developed from the Baron 55, introducing club seating, double aft baggage doors, and new gross weight of 5,400lbs. Depending on the variant, the Baron 58 is fitted with either the Continental IO-520 or IO-550 300-hp engine.

The Baron 58 can cruise at 200 knots (370 km/h) at 7000 ft (2100 m). The lengthening of the fuselage increased rear baggage space, as well as accommodating for more comfortable six-place seating over the Baron 55 and 56TC.

Max speed 386km/h (208kt), cruising speed 367km/h (198kt).
Initial rate of climb 1735ft/min
Range with reserves 2920km (1575nm).

The Caravan 1 has had a close association with US package freight specialist Federal Express (FedEx), on whose request Cessna especially developed two pure freight versions. The first of these was the 208A Cargomaster (40 delivered), the second was the stretched 208B Super Cargomaster (260 delivered). The first Super Cargomaster flew in 1986 and features a 1.22m (4ft) stretch and greater payload capacity, including an under fuselage cargo pannier.
The 208B Grand Caravan first flew in 1990 and like the Super Cargomaster is a stretched version of the basic Caravan powered by a 505kW (675shp) PT6A-114. It can seat up to 14 passengers.

Underbelly cargo pods, floats and skis are offered as options on the Caravan I family, and the type is easily converted from freight to passenger configurations. .

The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a series of Light Four Seated Aircraft.  In 1967 Piper first introduced PA-28R-180 Cherokee Arrow which featured a constant speed propeller and retractable landing gear. The engine was powered by 180 Horsepower Lycoming O-360 engines. In 1969 the engine was upgraded to 200 horsepower, and the designation of the aircraft was changed to PA-28R-200.
Changes to the design included the same 12.7cm stretched fuselage that was introduced on the Cherokee Challenger and Cherokee Charger. With greater rear legroom and more baggage capacity, it is larger than its predecessors and has a larger horizontal tail and dorsal fin fillet.
All series of Piper Cherokee family are all-metal, unpressurised, single engine Piston powered aircraft with low mounted wings and tricycle landing gear. Piper designed the PA-28 to compete with the Cessna 172.

UKDirect use these aircraft for training, lease for self-flying businessmen, and as air taxis.

The Beechcraft 1900C was developed directly from the Beechcraft Super King Air 200, the obvious change is the longer fuselage. Other improvements include more powerful engines and improved tail. The 1900 first flew on September 3, 1982.  The 1900 entered service in February 1984, with the first ExecLiner corporate version delivered in 1985.
The improved 1900C developed into the 1900D. The main changes on the 1900D was the substantially deeper fuselage with standup headroom. In addition it also introduced larger passenger and freight doors and windows, twin ventral strakes and auxiliary horizontal fixed tails.
The B1900 is designed to carry passengers in all weather conditions from airports with relatively short runways. It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft, corporate transport, and by the United States military and other governments.
A total of 695 Beechcraft 1900 aircraft were built, making this airliner the best-selling 19 passenger airliner in history.
With market trends favouring larger 50- to 90-seat regional jets, Raytheon ended production of the Beechcraft 1900 in October 2002. Many airlines continue to fly the 1900.

Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia
G-UKDH





 

After the success of the EMB-110 Bandeirante, suggestions from prospective operators were collected and incorporated into the EMB-120 design, named Brasilia in 1979 and the capacity was increased to 30 seats. Originally designed to utilise the new 1500SHP Pratt & Whitney Canada PW115 Turboprop, this was later upgraded to the 1892 ESHP PW118.

Probably the closest to a modern replacement for the DC-3 (with double the speed), the Brasilia attracted immediate interest from many regional airlines, particularly in the USA. The size, speed and ceiling allowed faster and more direct services around the US and Europe, compared to similar aircraft.
Serial production ended in 2001. As of 2007, it is still available for  one-off orders, as it shares much of the production equipment with the ERJ-145 family, which is still produced. As of August 2010, 195 EMB 120 aircraft are in airline service around the world.

Maximum speed: 608 km/h (328 knots, 378 mph) at 20,000 ft (6,100 m)
Cruise speed: 552 km/h (298 knots, 343 mph)

A 34 seat twin turbo-prop short/medium range commuter airliner.
Originally designated as the SF340 (Saab-Fairchild), the aircraft first flew on 25 January 1983. When Fairchild exited the aircraft manufacturing business in 1985 after about 40 units, Saab continued aircraft production under the designation 340A and 159 units were built. The first improved development of the Saab 340 was the 340B. More powerful engines improved hot and high performance, while other changes included a greater span tailplane, a higher max takeoff weight and better range. All the 340Bs also had the active noise control system. 200 units were built with deliveries beginning in September 1989. The final third generation version, the 340B Plus, was delivered for service in 1994 and incorporated improvements that were being introduced at the same time in the Saab 2000. 100 units were built. The production run of Saab 340s typically seated between 30 and 36 passengers, with 34 seats being the most common configuration.
The Saab 340A & 340B are in service worldwide with small airlines and with larger airlines in the commuter/feeder role. There are also several military variants.
Saab ceased 340 and 2000 production in 1998.

The ATR-72 is a twin-engine turboprop, short-haul regional airliner built by the French-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR [Avion de Transport Regional].The ATR-72 is a stretched development of the popular ATR-42 and was launched in January 1986.
Significant differences between the ATR-72 and the smaller and older ATR-42 include a 4.50m (14ft 9in) fuselage stretch and reworked wings. The ATR-72 makes much use of modern corrosion-resistant, composite materials (about 30%) to reduce weight including carbon fiber for its outer wings.
The ATR-72-500 was the third development of the base model and improved hot and high performance; certificated in early 1997. It features PW-127Fs driving six blade composite Hamilton Sundstrand propellers.
Passengers board using the rear door (which is rare for a passenger plane) as the front door is used to load cargo.
A tail stand must be installed when passengers are boarding or disembarking in case the nose lifts off the ground, which is common if the aircraft is loaded or unloaded incorrectly

The Bombardier Dash 8 or Q-Series, previously known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 or DHC-8, is a series of twin-engined, medium range, turboprop airliners. Introduced by de Havilland Canada (DHC) in 1984, they are now produced by Bombardier Aerospace. Over 1,000 Dash 8’s of all models have been built, the 300 is a 50–56 passenger version that entered service in 1989.

The Dash 8 competes against the likes of Saab’s 340, ATR 42 and Embraer Brasilia and was successful due in part to its early entry into the market when there was little competition and the fact the aircraft breaks even with about 1/3 of its seats filled. All models produced after 1996 include the Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration levels to nearly those of jet airliners. These were marketed as the Q series (Q200, Q300, and Q400).

In April 2008, Bombardier announced that production of the Classic versions (Series 100, 200, 300) would be ended, leaving the Series 400 as the only Dash 8 still in production. 671 Dash 8 Classics were produced, the last one delivered to Air Nelson in May 2008.

Throughout the 1950's, Lockheed was in a race with Douglas for the plane that was the fastest, most economical and the longest range.  Douglas started the race with the DC-4, but Lockheed countered with the L049, which was faster and was pressurised.  The war surplus DC-4's were cheap, though, and Lockheed was handicapped by a provision in the TWA contract that it couldn't sell a Connie to a competing East-West airline for two years.  The development of the larger, faster, and pressurized DC-6 lead Lockheed to introduce the next step in airliners, the Super Constellation.  Stretched by over 18 feet and powered by Wright R-3350 radials (eventually Turbo-Compounds of 3400 hp each), the new Super Connie was faster and could fly higher than the DC-6.  Of course, Douglas was not standing still, and American convinced them to produce the DC-7 with the Wright Turbo-Compound engines, and now the speed advantage belonged to Douglas. . Lockheed response was to produce the most successful Connie, the L1049G "Super G" of which there are some still flying today.

The BAe 146 is a short haul jet of which 221 were built between 1983 and 1992 in passenger, pure freighter and quick change versions. Three  sizes of aircraft are available all powered by Honeywell ALF502-R5  engines and spanning seating capacities from 70 to 112 seats. From 1987, aircraft feature EFIS displays. With 97% commonality of equipment and  systems, the BAe 146 offers a true family of interchangeable aircraft  for efficient fleet planning. In addition to competitive economics and outstanding performance, the BAe 146 is amongst the quietest and  cleanest aircraft in its class. The QT (Quiet Trader) is the cargo variant.

Fokker's largest aircraft, the Fokker 100 is a 100 seat jet airliner based on the F-28 Fellowship, but stretched and thoroughly modernised.

Low operational costs and almost no competition in the 100-seat short-range class made it a best seller when it was introduced in the late 1980s, but  sales later decayed due to increasing competition from the likes of Bombardier and Embraer.

Production ended in 1997 with 283 airframes delivered. In August 2009, 229 Fokker 100 aircraft remained in airline service with 47 airlines around the world.

Max cruising speed 845km/h (456kt), long range cruising speed 737km/h (453kt). Range with 107 passengers and Tay 620s 2505km (1323nm)

Embraer’s E-170 is the smallest in a family of four E-Jets designed for the 70-120 seat market. They are not shrunk from larger or stretched from smaller designs. They all share the same fuselage cross-section with 89% commonality across the range. The prototype first flew on 12th March 2004.
UKDirect employs these jets primarily on short-haul international and UK domestic turns for which they are ideal.

The A319 is a minimum change, shortened derivative of the highly successful A320. After healthy sales of the A320/A321, Airbus turned its focus back to what was then known as the A320M-7, meaning A320 minus seven rows of seats. It provides direct competition for the Boeing 737–500/600. The A320 family share a wider fuselage than the competing Boeing and has a thinner, longer wing for fuel efficiency. The A319 has the longest range of any type in its size range. Other changes included reducing overwing exits from four to two and a smaller aft cargo door. Minor software programming changes were made to accommodate the different handling characteristics but otherwise the A319 shares the same fly-by-wire flight controls and state-of-the-art cockpit as the other A320 Family members meaning the A319, A320 and A321 can all be flown by pilots with the same type rating.
The A319 flew for the first time on August 25 1995 from Hamburg in Germany.
As of February 2012 there are 1,324 A319’s in service around the world with sales outstripping the A321. The A319 has the same engine options as the A320 but are de-rated due to the A319’s lower weight.

Seats 124 passengers in a typical two class configuration (eight premium class and 116 economy class). Range with 124 passengers in a two-class configuration extends to 6,650 km (3,590 nmi).
Cruising speed Mach 0.78 (828 km/h/511 mph at 11,000 m/36,000 ft)
Maximum speed Mach 0.82 (871 km/h/537 mph at 11,000 m/36,000 ft)
