## About This Content
Designed by air racer Steven Wittman, the Tailwind is an amateur-built two-
seat aircraft first built in the 1950s. Combining relatively low build costs
with exciting 200-mph performance, the Tailwind proved a success and more than
350 examples have been built. Different versions of the basic design offer
different engine specs and performance, as well as either tail-dragger or
tricycle-type undercarriages.

The Wittman Tailwind for FSX: Steam Edition, developed by Lionheart Creations,
includes both the W8 (tail-dragger) and W10 (tail-dragger and tri-gear) series
model variants. The two W series aircraft both fly slightly differently, with
the W-10 having a higher-performance engine than the W-8. The W-10 will cruise
at 180 MPH and will max out at 200 MPH, whereas the W-8 cruises at 140 to 160
MPH and maxes out at 180 MPH. Instrument panels also differ between the two
models.
