X-Plane implements an aerodynamic model called blade element theory.[4]

Network flight

X-Plane can connect to other X-Plane instances via UDP or TCP[5][6] for multiplayer flight simulation, networked multi-monitor X-Plane configurations or to plugins, such as Pilot Edge,[7] which themselves communicate with other X-Plane instances.[8][9][10]
