Classic British Jets - English Electric Lightning

The English Electric Lightning is a supersonic fighter aircraft of the Cold War era. It was designed, developed, and manufactured by English Electric, which was subsequently absorbed by the newly formed British Aircraft Corporation. It was then marketed as the BAC Lightning. The Lightning was the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft. The Lightning was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF). Although it was the RAF's primary interceptor for more than two decades it was never required to attack another aircraft.

The Lightning is powered by two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines in a unique staggered stacked installation in the fuselage. The Lightning was developed to intercept increasingly capable bomber aircraft (Tupolev Tu-16, Tupolev Tu-22, Tupolev Tu-95), and thus has exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed; pilots have described flying it as "being saddled to a skyrocket". This performance made the Lightning a 'fuel critical' aircraft meaning that its missions are dictated to a high degree by its limited range. Later developments provided greater range and speed along with aerial reconnaissance and ground-attack capability.

Following retirement in the late 1980s, many of the remaining aircraft became museum exhibits and, until 2010, three Lightnings were kept flying at "Thunder City" in Cape Town, South Africa. In September 2008, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers conferred on the Lightning its "Engineering Heritage Award" at a ceremony at BAE Systems' site at Warton Aerodrome.

HawkT1/A Advanced Trainer for X-Plane - Sneak Peek

Published on Jul 13, 2018

Coming Soon.

Here is a short in-dev video showing some of the highlights of the exterior of our upcoming Hawk

The Hawk T1 features an exquisitely modelled exterior, with intricate details such as the landing gear which is animated to precisely match the real aircraft’s complex linkages and mechanisms. The visual fidelity offered by X-Plane’s PBR-capable graphics engine allows for stunning material characteristics and dynamic reflections, with every concave and convex surface, and every bump map lending its shape and surface characteristics to the reflection in real-time.

Also featured in this video are the work-in-progress multi-layered 3D engine sounds, whose characteristics change depending on the camera viewpoint, and the engine exhaust shimmer effects.

Here's a badass conversion of Polish Wilga 2000, which was a development of the original Polish STOL PZL-104 model. It was very popular in the '80s and '90s in the our local flying clubs, although some pilots said it had a glide ratio of a brick.
