X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11 is a flight simulator that allows you to observe the landscapes of most of the Earth and control both military and commercial aircraft. The game includes a huge number of tools that can significantly expand the game functionality, allowing you to create your own transport and airport. The main difference between this simulator and many others is the application of the blade element theory during development. It is used to handle propeller behavior. It works like this: any aircraft wing or blade is divided into separate sectors, which calculate the aerodynamic force and torque. Fuselages, tails and lift-producing forces are treated in the same way. Calculations are made individually for each type of transport. Geometric data, mass, location and characteristics of engines are read. X-Plane 11 operates confidently in supercritical modes - when flying at unacceptable angles or zero speed. A huge achievement is that the simulator is adapted for orbital flights, for example in the atmosphere of Mars. An accurate calculation of the runway, road and airport was carried out. The gameplay actively encourages players to design and create their own model airplanes, helicopters, airships and gliders. The game often acts as an auxiliary tool in the development of real aircraft models, for example CarterCopter was created with the support of an extensive set of simulator tools.
