First Aircraft by HST.
You read that correctly. This is exactly how it is. As we said earlier, a team was formed in January that will work towards the creation of our first aircraft.
Our goal in aircraft development is to give you the entire aircraft as it is in real life. From visual sensation to systems.
Our aircraft will not have default FMS and systems - we are adherents of high-quality custom systems with full implementation - as it is.
Our aircraft will not have a default flight model - there will be a completely custom flight model with realistic behaviors in the atmosphere.
Our aircraft will have quality 3D Model which will give you full immersion of aircraft.
And of course, we will not forget about the rest of the parts as well.
The aircraft team began work. The huge steps already done.
We are already working on the implementation of the system complex and many other things that we cannot yet reveal. Let's leave you with this screenshot.
Which one aircraft we develop - we don’t reveal yet.
But, you can share your guesswork in Discord.
