Short haul – high density! With its high T-tail, stubby undercarriage, drooping anhedral wing, four engines and highly distinctive butterfly-style air brakes, you can't mistake the 146-200/300!
The 146 design was originally started by Hawker-Siddeley in the UK in 1973 and production started in 1983. Now Just Flight brings you the superb 146-200 and 146-300 for FSX featuring a highly detailed external model, 21 authentic airline liveries from around the globe, an extremely accurate virtual cockpit (VC) and even a cabin view.
A custom sound set uses sounds recorded from the real aircraft to reproduce perfectly the distinctive sounds of those four quiet engines that allow the real aircraft into noise-sensitive airports around the world.
With a great flight model and the powerful and unique speed brakes it’s time to practise your short runway landings!
