The NAMC YS-11 comes as a Passenger variant and has the following liveries included: Default White; Custom Livery 01; Custom Livery 02; and Custom Livery 03.
The YS-11 is a twin-turboprop regional airliner that was developed and produced by Japanese aviation consortium Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (NAMC). The aircraft took its maiden flight in 1962 and NAMC manufactured 182 in several iterations from 1962 to 1974. The airframe served both civil and military users throughout the world for decades and several remain in limited service. Piloted by two, the YS-11 can carry up to 64 passengers or 10,000 pounds of cargo.
The story of the YS-11 began in the mid-1950s in the wake of World War II. The Japanese government sought to engender development of an airliner wholly created by Japanese companies and in so doing spark the rise of a domestic commercial aerospace industry. Several major industrial firms coalesced to form the Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation; company engineers began work on what would become the YS-11 in 1959.
Powered by two turboprop engines, the aircraft incorporates a low-mounted main wing, a pressurized cabin, and retractable tricycle landing gear. NAMC created two ground static test aircraft and two flyable prototypes, the first of which took the airframe’s maiden flight on August 30, 1962. After several pre-production improvements, the YS-11 was certified for flight on September 9, 1965.
The aircraft quickly showed itself to be rugged, stable, efficient, and reliable. Due to its powerful engines and aerodynamically efficient wing design, the YS-11 proved an excellent choice for short field operation. Airliners from dozens of countries adopted the airframe for both passenger service and for freight. The militaries of Japan and Greece used the model for several mission types, including general airlift, surveillance, and electronic warfare.
The YS-11 measures 86 feet, 4 inches in length, stands 29 feet, 6 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 105 feet. It is powered by two wing-mounted Rolls-Royce Dart Mk.542-12K turboprop engines that each deliver up to 3,060 horsepower. Each engine turns a 4-blade, constant-speed, fully reversible Dowty Rotol propeller. The YS-11 has a maximum range of 1,485 miles, a service ceiling of 23,000 feet above sea level, and a maximum climb rate of 1,220 feet per minute. The aircraft can take-off with a ground roll of 3,642 feet and land in 2,165 feet. It has a stall speed of 86 miles per hour, a cruising speed of 294 mph, and a top speed of 340 mph.
