Comment CarterCopter Flight Tested Using $40 flight sim (Score 2) 152
The CarterCopter is being modeled and flight tested with X-Plane by Laminar Research. It is the most advanced consumer flight simulator that uses blade element analysis too calculate ALL of the real physical forces acting on the aircraft! Check out the X-Plane Front Page for pics of the CarterCoptor test pilot taking a test flight on a new Apple G4 (in the hanger with the actual plane in the background).
