Very nice. What's the 1% method?

This site is a celebration of flying and it's history. By combining the latest releases of the current Flight Sims and the 1% technology, we can now experience the thrill of flying from home computer. We can practice touch and goes in the pattern flying a General Aviation aircraft to navigating a 4-engine airliner across the country. Or explore BFM issues of fighters from WW1 to WW2 and even the early Jets, Turboprops and Rocket Powered aircraft.
The flight sim community has created many wonderful visual models for just about any aircraft you can think of. Because of the hard work of the Aviation Enthusiasts at AvHistory.org, developers can now create flight models for the computer that fly within 1% of the performance of their real world counterparts.
To achieve a fidelity that approaches +/-1%, we took a step back and approached the creation of flight models from a Historians point of view using Physics to generate the data for the flight model. The methodology we use is called the 1% Assembly Line Process.
The 1% process has given us a method to create very high fidelity flight models that perform within 1% of their real world counterparts. We're now beginning the next evolution in flight models that model the quirks or personality of the aircraft. To help achieve this, advisor's like the Planes of Fame Museum, have provided assistance to AvHistory to allow us to more accurately model the aircraft.

It is a highly acurate model complete with rotating rotery engine.
