==== BK 117====
[[File:Fgfs-screen-221.jpg|thumb|Showing the exterior of the BK117.]]
Work on the BK117 helicopter has been started. The BK117 is a twin-engined medium utility–transport helicopter, produced in a coproduction between MBB/Eurocopter and Kawasaki. It uses the same rigid rotor system like Bo105, but is larger in size and has more power.
It is quite common in the world and very often used by emergency services and law enforcements.
The model features a realistic FlightDynamicModel based and calculated from NASA-reports, a detailed 3d-model with normalmap and reflection shaders, detailed rotor (thanks to Melchior!) and will be dynamically configurable in many variants.
It is planned to make it realistic as it can be and good or even better than the Ec130 B4.
Next steps are the interior modeling with a detailed 3d-cockpit.
