The '''Hamburger Flugzeugbau HFB 320 Hansa Jet''' was a West German passenger and multi-purpose aircraft developed in the 1960s, powered by 2 turbojets.<sup>[http://www.luftfahrtmuseum.com/htmi/itf/hf320.htm]</sup>

It did not have thrust reversers but a drag chute installed to land on short fields.

The '''Cessna Citation X''' (X as in the Roman numeral for ten, not the letter) is a long range medium business jet aircraft. The X is currently the fastest civilian jet in production with a top speed of Mach 0.92 (703 mph). This also makes it the fastest business jet in history. The Citation X is powered by two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines and is built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. The Citation brand of business jets encompasses six distinct "families" of aircraft. Although based on the earlier Citation III, VI and VII models the Citation X is a significantly different airplane. It utilizes a totally new wing design, engines, and features a glass cockpit.

'''MBB Bo 105''' was a turbine powered [[helicopter]] introduced in the 1970s by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm also known as PAH-1. It was later produced by Eurocopter. In FlightGear it is included among the [[FlightGear 1.0 default aircraft|default]] [[aircraft]] and is one the more well developed and easier to fly helicopters for versions [[FlightGear 0.9.10|0.9.10]] and [[FlightGear 1.0|1.0]]. It has three selectable liveries that can be changed with Y key, included a military variant with armament that can be fired.

The '''Alouette II''' is a light helicopter originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aérospatiale, both of France. The Alouette II was the first production [[helicopter]] to use a gas turbine instead of a conventional heavier piston engine.

One of the variants led up to the [[Aérospatiale Alouette III|Alouette III]].

Currently one variant is modeled in FlightGear:

== Introduction ==
This is an model of the '''Eurocopter EC135''', a light twin-engine, multi-mission [[helicopter]].

Eurocopter has two version of it: the EC 135 P2i and the EC 135 T2i
P2 stands for the PRATT and WHITNEY PW 206B2 turbine engine with 743 PS (horsepower).
T2 stands for TURBOMECA Arrius 2B2 turbine engine with 706 PS.
The EC 135 descends from the MBB Bo 108. The Bo 108 was a demonstration prototype for fly-by-wire and has it's descend from the famous Bo 105.
When the Eurocopter company was founded, the Bo 108 came with.
Eurocopter decided that there was a marcetplace for such a helicopter and the developement went on.
From the french partners it got the fenestron, from MBB the hingeless rotor.
The fenestron makes it very hard for dangerous situations in the range of the tail rotor and reduces the noise level about 50% to other helicopters
That's why the EC 135 is a vey recommanded helicopter for EMS and the police, especially in Europe but in the USA, Japan and other states too.

The models Includes the german ADAC version, the austrian ÖAMTC version and the EC135-prototype version as default

== Development status/Issues/Todo ==
[[Image:Ec135_LFLJ.jpg|thumb|right|400px|EC 135 "D-HECZ" (prototype) takes off above the clouds at Courchevel; see [[Flying the helicopter]] ]]
=== Actual version: v.0.4 (in CVS and in upcoming FGFS1.99.5)===

This is a complete rebuild of the ec135 with a much better exterior
model It is currently a work in progress, so a lots of things can be
broken now, but it should be not worser to fly than in the last version.

* complete new exterior with added antennas and other mounting parts(search lights, cameras)
* glas shader with fresnel effect
* variants changing over mp
* better texture mapping so it should be easy to make your own livery

Currently in Progress at this date:
* replacing the panels and adding the digital version with a nearly photorealistic one!
* adding the overhead
* making it all clickable and working from the cockpit
* better interior : EMS and VIP-version
* remade D-HECZ-Livery
* mapped ec135 with D-HECZ-Livery
* added ADAC Chr. 23-Livery made with photorealistic parts like Fenestron and Logos- still some things missing like lines
* added phtorealistic textures to exhaust and rails
* adding and finishing the missing liveries like the OEAMTC, G-SASA, Bavarian Police
* adding the high skid model

=== Actual version: v.0.2 ===

* fully new made 3D-model - matching real good to the real one
* improved interior with stick and pedals
* changed variants: ADAC Chr. 31 "Berlin", D-HECZ "second prototype", ÖAMTC Christopherus 1
* improved cockpit with half analog IFR-panel
* HSI is now working, working VOR
* GSDI selectable
* improved and more detailed main rotor with incidence animation
* Fenestron now with the correct configuration of the blades: 1-4-1-4
* dynamic flight model now with the correct position of the CG
* added frontlight, retractable landinglight, strobes with the correct frequency, beacon with the correct frequency
* rotor brake system now working

To-Do:
* adding antennas and other mounting parts (search lights, cameras)
* fully clickable [[cockpit]] (half-analog and digital)
* complete light function
* variants with radardome
* variants with high-skid
* much more (international)variants!
* realistic dynamic flight model
* mainrotors much more detailed
* animation of the fenestron blades (incidence)
* sound still could be improved
* adding pilots figures

=== Actual version: v.0.1 ===

* first 3d-model of an ec135
* first try of an ec135-flight dynamic model
* livery changing
* two version: ADAC and Bavarian Police
* first version of the half analog cockpit
* doors to open

To-Do:
* better quality of the 3d-model
* full mainrotor animation
* better Fenestron
* improve cockpit, implementing a working HSI
* clean up the xml-files
* improve soundsystem
* realistic dynamic flight model
* selectable GSDI
* implementing rotor brake system
* more variants

* sound still could be improved
* adding pilots figures

=== Actual version: v.0.1 ===

* first 3d-model of an ec135
* first try of an ec135-flight dynamic model
* livery changing
* two version: ADAC and Bavarian Police
* first version of the half analog cockpit
* doors to open

To-Do:
* better quality of the 3d-model

The '''Aérospatiale Alouette III''' (French for Skylark) is a single-engine, light utility [[helicopter]] developed by Sud Aviation and later manufactured by Aérospatiale of France. The Alouette III is the successor to the [[Aérospatiale Alouette II|Alouette II]], being larger and having more seating.

The '''Alouette II''' is a light helicopter originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aérospatiale, both of France. The Alouette II was the first production [[helicopter]] to use a gas turbine instead of a conventional heavier piston engine.

One of the variants led up to the [[Aérospatiale Alouette III|Alouette III]].

==Variants==
Currently one variant is modeled in FlightGear:
* '''SE 3180 Alouette II:''' After 1967 called '''SA 318C Alouette II''' derived from the SE 3150.

A C172 has been the default aircraft in FG since 2000, when it replaced the Navion. It has had a long development and includes a wide variety of simulation features for FG 1.0. See [[Understanding Propeller Torque and P-Factor]]

C172 has a simulation of the [[Bendix/King KAP140 Autopilot]].

==Variants==
The following four variants exist in the [[FlightGear CVS]] data repository:
* <tt>c172p</tt>
* <tt>c172p-2dpanel</tt>
* <tt>c172p-panel-only</tt>
* <tt>c172r</tt>
There is a c172x-set file too, but it depends on a removed file

c172x Cessna 172 flight dynamics testbed -> when using this alias, Flightgear aborts loading !

'''Outside:'''
* no landing and navigational lights

'''3D cockpit:'''
* only cockpit instruments light at night, no cockpit and panel light available yet
* no rudder control pedals visible
* cockpit is textured but textures need more polish, for example there are no door opener visible at the side doors
* no pilot or co pilot present
* no trim postion indicators in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981
* no flaps position indicators in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981
* light switches are hard to access in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981, it's difficult to read their names either

'''General:'''
* It is routine to observe 135 Kias at 2850 RPM in level flight at 1000 MSL, using only 13 gph. This is not the sort of performance seen in real-life Skyhawks.
** What is the expected performance according to your estimation?
