News! - On Approach - Beechcraft Duke by DW Designs

Coming soon is the stalwart of seventies the Beechcraft 60 Duke. This is a big Twin-engine fixed-wing aircraft with a retractable tricycle landing gear and a pressurized cabin. The two piston engines are turbocharged and this aircraft comes in two versions...

The Original Lycoming TIO541-B4 engines that developed 380 hp

And the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-21 Turbine version that created 550 hp

The Duke is known for its tall shark like high fin, it is a very distinctive shape and now quite a rare aircraft. Not as popular as the King-Airs, due to its high drag and high ownership cost (which are quite low in X-Plane) most were written off if major engine or airframe work was required.

Panel and cabin are highly detailed and the aircraft is well equipped with both a Garmin G530 and G430.

No date has been set for release but as the aircraft is in final beta, you could note very soon or Mid-September.
