The EMB-121 Xingu (pronounced: Shin-Goo) is a twin-engine fixed-wing aircraft made by Embraer and introduced in 1977. The largest operator of the EMB-121 is currently the French Air Force, with 23 still remaining in service. Used by the French Air Force as a pilot trainer, it has been in service since 1983 and will be phased out in 2025, a total of 42 years.

Wow another upload from me in less than a month! I promise you this will not be a trend. Originally it was a proof of concept I made over a year ago for making visually accurate cockpits for larger planes. Then I started it again as a practice for circularly paneled wings, so ta-da this is the first plane I've made with a somewhat accurate wing profile. I will now return to my R&D cave kbye.


Additional Flight Notes:
If you takeoff with takeoff flaps selected and let go of pitch, it can sometimes lock itself in a nose down attitude despite having full elevator deflection. I didn't figure out how to fix this so just... don't do that.

    @ChiChiWerx Oh thank you soo much! Sorry for the late response, it's always a pleasure getting praise from you. Those issues may have been oversights, I'll definitely look into that. I'm glad I got somewhat realistic flight characteristics by just eyeballing it lol.

    Quite nice and neat with very disciplined approach to building, especially for the cockpit glass. Can’t imagine I’d have the patience to replicate the process. Flight model is also very good. Typically,
    though, reverse pitch or reverse thrust would be enabled through some sort of weight on wheels or ground sensing system, making it impossible to throw it into reverse pitch while airborne. There are exceptions to this (C-17), did you see in your research that the pilot can put this one into reverse pitch while airborne? Also, the trim tab would/should be moveable on the ground, even at zero airspeed, can’t imagine this plane IRL would work otherwise. Anyway, very nice/realistic and fun to fly! Spent a few wasted minutes just flying it in the pattern at Yeager, making nice landings, investigating stall characteristics, etc.

    It happens, I’m sure if I ever post my builds I’m doing now they won’t get as many upvotes as my other builds, it’s kinda a dice roll imo @DeezDucks
