5/5 (1)


The Exec RW162F is the latest in the Exec series of helicopters manufactured by RotorWay International. The Exec 90 was developed in the early 1990s, it was, at the time, the only piston-powered helicopter to utilize an asymmetrical airfoil for improved autorotation characteristics and safety. In 1994, a fuel injection system and electronic ignition, with FADEC was added to the Exec 90, producing the Exec RW162F.

The FlyInside RotorWay RW162F integrates a custom realistic flight model. Working closely with an on staff RotorWay owner and experienced pilots, it's as real as it gets! With a custom standalone flight dynamics engine, our helicopters provide an authentic helicopter experience.

With a custom standalone flight dynamics engine, our helicopters provide an authentic helicopter experience. Realistic collective/cyclic/pedal response, ground effect, flap-back, transverse flow, torque/yaw, VRS, RBS, auto-rotation capabilities, and much more are all supported! Perform real helicopter maneuvers in sim. Touchdown autorotations, quick-stops, confined area ops... if you can do them in the real aircraft, you can do them in sim!
