VSKYLABS DC-3

The Douglas DC-3/C-47 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner. Its great performance – range of approximately 1500 miles and speed of above 200 Miles per Hour, revolutionized air transportation in the 1930s and 1940s. It is a twin-engine all-metal monoplane, capable to operate from short runways at remote places.
 
It was able to cross the United States, and made transcontinental flights and worldwide flights possible. These characteristics of the DC-3/C-47 are very fascinating, and were one of the triggers to come up with the idea of creating the VSKYLABS DC-3/C-47 Flying Performance/Research Lab project for X-Plane.
Thorough instructions, project evolution and design details are available in the project’s page at the VSKYLABS portal.
