Discovery (for X-Plane Space Combat)
[First released on 15/Jan/2003 - Current version 1.20.00]


This is my attempt to model the Discovery interplanetary ship as seen in the movies 2001 and 2010.

The design was assembled based on blueprints I have, but there is no data to base the propulsion system.

Despite the limitations of the ship editor I managed to insert many details like the pods' garages, the multiple section cargo/fuel containers and the AE-35 communications antenna.
