FS2004/FSX Breda Zappata 308

 

This is a full package (aircraft and panel) and it is for FS 2004, but it should work also in FS2002. Called the italian Constellation, the B.Z.308 was a large low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction, the fuselage had an oval cross-section. It had a large tailplane with endplate fins and rudders, retractable landing gear. Powered by four Bristol Centaurus radial engines driving five-bladded propellers, it was designed for a flightcrew of five, and 55 passengers in two cabins, a high-density model was planned with seats for 80. Although flight testing went well, financial problems and the realisation that competition from American-built airliners would take a major share of the post-war airliner market, along with the pressures to close down the Aeronautical section of the Breda, led to the project being abandoned. Breda stopped producing airplanes subsequently. By Italo D’Attomo and Giovanni Quai 4 Mb
