Boeing 2707-300 SST

The Boeing 2707-300 SST represents one of the most ambitious "what-if" projects in commercial aviation, intended to be America's larger, faster answer to the Concorde before its cancellation in 1971. This expansive freeware project by Devinci resurrects the legendary supersonic transport for X-Plane 12, offering a highly detailed reconstruction that brings the aircraft's distinctive flight deck, complex mechanical systems, and striking aerodynamic profile to life. Recent updates have completely rebuilt the wing, tail, and aft body to CAD-grade standards, complemented by a fully animated 20-degree droop nose and meticulously documented flap and slat mechanisms.

Operationally, the aircraft aims for a high-end Procedural experience. The flight deck is a dense mix of 3D panels and supporting 2D engineering displays, modeling bespoke electrical, hydraulic, fuel, propulsion, and environmental systems. Pilots are tasked with managing the custom GE4 engine models and navigating via a remade SPZ-1 autopilot system, which features independent CMD/CWS selections and rolling drum counters. A standout feature of this package is the integrated "Dispatch" interface, which handles payload, fuel, ground services, and aircraft state presets, completely bypassing the default X-Plane payload menus. It also includes an integrated update module within the Dispatch screen, ensuring users can seamlessly pull the latest patches without redownloading the entire aircraft archive.

While the project is incredibly feature-rich, it remains heavily in development. The developer explicitly notes that overall performance and frame rates are not yet optimized. Furthermore, advanced features like the Autoland system are still being refined; approach capture and automatic landings may fail depending on hardware and environmental variables, requiring pilots to remain vigilant and ready to take manual control. Currently restricted to Windows 64-bit platforms, this SST is a massive, evolving labor of love that offers virtual airline captains a deeply engaging, hands-on supersonic experience.

Primary Missions & Operational Roles:

• High-altitude, supersonic intercontinental passenger transport.

• Complex, multi-crew procedural simulation utilizing the included virtual crew voices.

• Vintage oceanic route flying requiring active flight engineer management.
