The following graph shows the chronology of the Lemonade X-Factory production line. You can jump to each craft section just by clicking over this map's figures.

Lemon Icons represent the complexity level (acidity) of making each 'plane' model.

At the page's bottom there is a list, with download links, of the essential tools used in building these planes.

O gráfico a seguir mostra a cronologia da linha de produção da X-Fábrica Limonada. Você pode pular para a seção de cada aparelho simplesmente clicando sobre as figuras deste mapa.

Os ícones de limões representam o grau de complexidade (acidez) na construção de cada um dos modelos.

Ao final da página há uma lista, com links para download, das ferramentas essenciais usadas na construção destes modelos.

WARNING NEW VERSION NUMBERING SCHEME WARNING

Version numbering scheme for my models was changed to be more representative of the actual X-Plane version they were built compatible. The first and second group means X-Plane's minimum version necessary for the model to work well, and the last two digits means the actual release version of the individual model.

	CAUTION

Due to the constants changes in new releases of X-Plane software I cannot guarantee that any of the following models will function in any version greater than the version declared in their own numbering scheme. All models are stressfully tested in the versions they were built for. As new incompatible versions arose and as time permits I plan to upgrade them, always keeping the previous versions available for download in the same page you find each model.

AIRCRAFTS <aeronaves>

The following models are compatible with X-Plane v8 <os modelos abaixo são compatíveis com o X-Plane v8>

Saturn V [First released on 21/Dec/2003 - Current version 8.60.00 on 15/Mar/2007]

An experiment in modeling the Saturn V rocket with all its stages individually controllable and ejectable. Complete including Apollo's Service and Command modules. Weighting over 6 Million lb. [english here]

XA-31 Panorama [First released on 05/Aug/2002 - Current version 8.15.00 on 17/Sep/2005]

This was my entry for the 2nd Digital-Flight's X-Plane Design Contest, done on July 2002 in the fashion of the actual X-Prize competition. It is a sub-orbital craft planned for tourism. [english here]

Santos-Dumont's 14-bis [First released on 15/Jun/2001 - Current version 8.50.00 on 16/Nov/2006]

Although it is one of the most simple aircraft already made its model was a pain to shape and flight tune. But it had to be done, and it had to be done by myself. I love it even that it'll value more as a collection piece than a plane to x-fly. [english here] [português aqui]

The following models are compatible with X-Plane v7 <os modelos abaixo são compatíveis com o X-Plane v7>

Saturn V [First released on 21/Dec/2003 - Current version 7.62.00 on 03/Oct/2004]

An experiment in modeling the Saturn V rocket with all its stages individually controllable and ejectable. Complete including Apollo's Service and Command modules. Weighting over 6 Million lb. [english here]

MarsTrek [First released on 30/Sep/2002 - Current version 7.10.00 on 01/Oct/2003]

This is a conceptual version of the SoloTrek™ for use on Mars environment. It is the same craft, same stability, same maneuverability, plus new instruments, new liquid rocket propulsion unit, and astronaut pilot dressing. Find at the bottom of the linked page. [english here]

Trek Aerospace's SoloTrek™ XFV™ [First released on 20/Jan/2001 - Current version 7.62.00 on 03/Oct/2004]

It is a new kind of flying vehicle that transports an individual in a standing position, efficiently and quietly, at speeds up to 80 mph. Because it is able to take off and land vertically (VTOL), like a helicopter, it can easily operate out of extremely confined spaces. Unlike an airplane with long wings, it never requires an airport runway. [english here]

The following models are compatible with X-Plane v6 <os modelos abaixo são compatíveis com o X-Plane v6>

MarsTrek [First released on 30/Sep/2002 - Current version 6.70.00 on 30/Sep/2003]

This is a conceptual version of the SoloTrek™ for use on Mars environment. It is the same craft, same stability, same maneuverability, plus new instruments, new liquid rocket propulsion unit, and astronaut pilot dressing. Find at the bottom of the linked page. [english here]

XA-31 Panorama [First released on 05/Aug/2002 - Current version 6.16.00]

This was my entry for the 2nd Digital-Flight's X-Plane Design Contest, done on July 2002 in the fashion of the actual X-Prize competition. It is a sub-orbital craft planned for tourism. [english here]

Jet dot Com [First released on 23/Mar/2002 - Current version 6.16.00]

This was my entry for the 1st X-Plane's Design Contest, done around the Williams FJX-2 Turbofan on February 2002. It is a small recreation jet customized by the internet fashion. [english here] [português aqui]

Convair R3Y-2 Tradewind [First released on 01/Jan/2002 - Current version 6.70.00 on 30/Sep/2003]

The beautiful and powerful flying boat built by Convair at the same epoch it was developing the Pogo and SeaDart aircrafts. This one is powered by four XT-40 engines (sporting 8 counter-rotating propellers). [english here] [português aqui]

The following models are compatible with X-Plane v5 <os modelos abaixo são compatíveis com o X-Plane v5>

Quetzalcoatl - The Feathered Serpent [First released on 15/Nov/2000 - Current version 5.60.02 on 06/May/2001]

It is a powerful fantasy aircraft, capable of Mach-3 without afterburners. High maneuverability, excellent glider due to its seagull wings. Designed alike the nature's birds, it's my own creation and it deserves your trying. [english here] [português aqui]

Embraer/FMA CBA-123 Vector [First released on 01/Jan/2001 - Current version 5.60.02 on 10/Aug/2001]

It was developed jointly by Embraer (of Brazil) and FMA (of Argentina) as a replacement for the successful EMB-110 Bandeirante. The Brasilia's shortened fuselage combined with supercritical wings and the tractor turboprop engines, pylon mounted from the rear fuselage driving six-bladed propellers, make this aircraft unique. [english here] [português aqui]

Trek Aerospace's SoloTrek™ XFV™ [First released on 20/Jan/2001 - Current version 5.60.03 on 13/Jul/2001]

It is a new kind of flying vehicle that transports an individual in a standing position, efficiently and quietly, at speeds up to 80 mph. Because it is able to take off and land vertically (VTOL), like a helicopter, it can easily operate out of extremely confined spaces. Unlike an airplane with long wings, it never requires an airport runway. [english here]

Convair XFY-1 Pogo [First released on 03/Jun/2001 - Current version 5.41.00]

This aircraft was a innovative attempt in the beginning of VTOL's history. Now that X-Plane can handle its flight attitude, I finished my model which sports the same characteristic of all the original craft's flights: the canopy will stay always opened for any emergency escape procedure its pilot need. And... pilot included! [english here] [português aqui]

Santos-Dumont's 14-bis [First released on 15/Jun/2001 - Current version 5.41.01]

Although it is one of the most simple aircraft already made its model was a pain to shape and flight tune. But it had to be done, and it had to be done by myself. I love it even that it'll value more as a collection piece than a plane to x-fly. [english here] [português aqui]


SPACECRAFTS <espaçonaves>
