Why the ITP ?
The ITP was made to be used as a testbed for various experimental instruments and systems (e.g. approach instruments, inertial navigation systems, stall prevention/recovery systems, etc).

What is the ITP ?
The ITP is a generic medium regional jet transport aircraft, designed to accommodate 192 pax. It is built with two turbofan engines, generating each 45K lbf of thrust. For testing purposes, it was fitted with an early HUD, displaying AoA, TAS, HDG, and V/S, and our early-RNP approach system.
The ITP features double-slot fowler flaps and slats, giving it interesting slow-speed capacities at MTOW. It is also equipped with a +-10° full-elevator trim.

How was the ITP built ?
This aircraft was built according to European Air Safety CS-25 regulations, especially regarding :
- One Engine Inop TKOF and G/A performance profiles
- Minimum Control Velocities (VMCA/VMCG) behavior
The aim is clearly to make it as realistic as possible, for later in-game instrumental development and testing.

What's next ?
The ITP is not yet finished ; we know that it needs a lot of additional testing, corrections, and it misses a lot of expected features :
- upset prevention/recovery systems (stall trim, etc)
- lateral guidance systems (RNP-type LNAV)
- 2D/3D approach guidance systems (ILS/VOR/RNP types)
- comprehensive autopilot (capable of flying in different phases of flight).
