Bourrasque

Bourrasque is a fictional aircraft designed to enjoy flying !!!

It is usable in FlightGear open source flight simulator.

It is agile and powerful, can fly fast and do short takeoffs and landings. It’s a suitable aircraft to discover the whole world of FlightGear (entirely earth is available) with its radio-navigation instruments and autopilot. Thanks to its HUD-showing-target-position feature, it’s easy to find an aircraft in the sky and fly in formation with your friends on FlightGear multiplayer servers.
