The VSKYLABS ‘RC-PILOT’: Jump Jet 2830 Testbed is an advanced simulation of a 1:5 scale Turbine powered Radio Controlled model airplane. It is powered by an RC Scale Turbofan power unit that provides thrust vectoring propulsion. The propulsion system provides bleed air pressure to stabilizing vanes in each wing tip, under the nose and in the tail boom, to allow pitch, roll and yaw control while hovering.


The highly defined VSL Jump Jet 2830 Testbed simulation is powered by X-Plane’s cutting edge Flight Model environment, providing the most advanced flight model, aerodynamics and physics existing nowadays in real-time flight simulation software.

Although X-Plane is not a dedicated RC model simulation software, The highly engineered VSKYLABS Jump Jet 2830 Testbed can be flown with high realism, both in the 2-d and VR environments.

The VSL Jump Jet 2830 Testbed features several unique/custom features that will allow easier ‘RC operation style’ in X-Plane.


PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • VSKYLABS 'RC-PILOT' project: built around the powerful, native X-Plane's Flight Model environment.
  • Highly engineered VTOL/CTOL model airplane simulation scaled down to 1:5 (length of 2,830 mm), with true-to-life RC specs.
  • On-screen operations: Easy and straightforward operation of the model, including flight reset, auto-start and other operations without the need to go through menus…
  • VR (Virtual Reality) Ready.
  • Multi-Layer FMOD sound pack.
  • Project under constant development.
  • Highly responsive VSKYLABS support system.
