RealAir Turbine Duke

Featured Replies

Just found my new favorite GA airplane...Did a quick flight by the checklists and love the engine modelling. Compared to the pistons... strapping turbines on those wings seems analogous to Wile E. Coyote strapping himself to an ACME rocket...

If I purchase an upgrade of the piston powered Duke to the turbine Duke, do I still retain models of the original aircraft so that I can choose between the two?Thanks Brent

It's a jewel! The fluid gauges are mesmerizing, and my RWP530 fits perfectly. The lag between throttle movement and engine response is great. The plane is a joy to hand fly. I wasn't really expecting to be so surprised.

I'm really enjoying the Turbine Duke. I just completed my third flight and the first one landing with both engines. :) One engine loss was unintentional and the second was intentional as my ability to trim the aircraft yaw with one engine out is getting better. Landing with both engines was a piece of cake! :) As always Real Air delivers a superb simulation! Thanks!Bob.. :)

I have to admit, doing my third flight with her now...I think the Turbine Duke, with the Reality XP 530 and 430 installed (especially now there is a way to update the NAVDATA).... This airplane is the closest thing next to a J-3 in the bush to General Aviation nirvana...Great Job RealAir!

I saw some BE60 and BE60T equipped with a weather radar on airliners.net.Rob/Sean, is it possible to add the rxp w500 in the future?

Hi Driver 101,The only way to get the POH for any Turbine conversion of this kind is to order the actual engine retrofit. But that might cost you in the region of $1,0000,000!! There is plenty of performance information within the Duke's Flying Guide pdf.Rob - RealAir

Thanks Rob!So Iam going to save some money and in approx. 200 years from now I will be able to buy one ;-)I have read the POH but couldn't find some speeds like Vr.
