The Airbus A310 is a medium- to long-range twin-engined wide-body jet airliner that was developed and manufactured by Airbus. Released in 1983, it was the second aircraft to enter production by Airbus Industrie. [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A310]
This new package contains models of the A310-204, A310-222, A310-308 and A310-324 in alpha phase:
* The models are quite detailed with working, retractable gears, working flaps/slats/... (4 points)
* The FDM is a basic aeromatic approach with accurate input data (1 point)
* The systems are in "engines always on” state right now (0 points)
* The cockpit is a modified version of Pierre Duvals A300-600ST flightdeck. It was fitted to the A310 but some of the instruments need to be adopted to the A310. (3 points)
