?Verona V-320E (275,000 lbs airliner)

429 eboyken  8.5 years ago

This aircraft is designed to accurately model the physics of a large narrowbody twinjet. She is loaded to 275,000 lbs with abundant payload (dead weight in the fuselage blocks), but with 23,607 gallons of fuel can fly for a long period of time. Inboard flaps, outboard flaps, and leading edge slats are fully modeled (controlled via VTOL). Elevator trim uses native trim input but makes use of a rotator to change the angle of attack of the entire horizontal stabilizer. With these air surfaces, she flies incredibly smoothly. FUNCTIONAL REVERSE THRUST is also modeled - activate group 1 and then apply full back stick (pitch) to engage. Normal takeoff: (1) apply 50% flaps; (2) set trip to 50% up position; (3) apply 90-90% power; (4) rotate gradually at 185mph - be wary of tailstrikes; (5) retract flaps; (6) set climb thrust to 80-85% power; (7) trim for climb. Normal landing: approach with full flaps, set power to 50-60%, trim to maintain 200-210mph, cut power over the threshold, activate group 1 on touchedown, apply full back stick to engage reversers,
