Avro Vulcan

This is the Avro Vulcan for X-Plane 10.

The Avro Vulcan is a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Aircraft manufacturer A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) designed the Vulcan in response to Specification B.35/46. Of the three V bombers produced, the Vulcan was considered the riskiest option. Several scale aircraft, designated Avro 707, were produced to test and refine the delta wing design principles.

This aircraft was bought by the X-Plane org. and is free to download.

The aircraft is very sensitive to joystick movement, and is quite tricky to fly. The bomb-bay doors and pilot stairs are animated. It has a 3d cockpit.
