This X-Plane model features: highly accurate model based on historical, research and restoration data, full flying wing aerodynamic model using original Horten airfoils, a bell-shaped lift distribution and custom fuselage airfoils to model the entire aircraft for a realistic flight experience, custom airfoils analysed with X-foil across the Reynolds number regimes of the aircraft, custom flight controls using X-Plane's override_control_surfaces feature to simulate the triple differential elevon and dual drag/dive brake control surfaces of the Ho IV design, plus many more additional features. 4 were built in the 1940s and one was used in competitions in the 1950s (taking prizes a number of times). It featured a high aspect wing for optimum gliding performance and a prone pilot position, minimizing drag while providing a unique flight experience. X-Plane 11.25+ Horten Ho IVa High Performance Glider 1.0 The Horten Ho IV was a high performance, all wing, competition glider designed to compete with the best gliders of its time. By Aeroworx (Johan van Wyk and Fred Stegmann). This is a public beta version, PLEASE read the "Release Notes" attached to the download. The Sperry is the primary autopilot, but for the more "modern" guys, a G530 is available as a pop-up. This aircraft features a fully 3D vintage virtual cockpit, with dozens of mouse click-able animations. Getting good photographs is no problem, the crews flying and maintaining these aircraft are also extremely helpful in providing us with documentation, advice, etc. As members of the South African Airways Museum Society, we have direct access to their C-47 and also a few other DC-3/C-47's. At the end of July, Aeroworx obtained the permission to port this aircraft to X-Plane.
This magnificent aircraft was originally designed by Manfred Jahn, Jan Visser and Team and is being flown by hundreds of happy users. Between 19 Douglas built a total of 10,654 of the type and over 80 years later there are still almost 1,000 in flying condition.
The Douglas C47 is a twin-engined low wing transport aircraft, powered by Twin Wasp R1830-90C engines. X-Plane 11 Aeroworx Douglas C-47 Dakota Beta 2.5.
