The Turbine Toucan Takes Flight Virtually
OK... so you can't have one for your own--in reality... but if
you're willing to accept a 'virtual' substitute, then we have a
'ride' for you. Infinity Entertainment Inc. and PSD-International
have joined forces to bring the Turbine Toucan, the highest
performance biplane in history, to the virtual world.
The Turbine Toucan represents the highest thrust to weight ratio
aircraft in the world today, including any current jet fighter in
the U.S. arsenal. At a ratio of 1.65:1, The Turbine Toucan can not
only hover but also accelerate vertically. The record breaking
performance demonstrated by the Turbine Toucan will open the world
to aerobatic maneuvers never performed or witnessed before.
"What makes taking the Turbine Toucan virtual so exciting is it
gives people the opportunity to be inventive and create maneuvers
that have never been performed before. Instead of emulating what
has been done in the real world, Microsoft Flight Sim pilots have
the opportunity to break boundaries and be creatively expressive in
the process," according to Infinity Entertainment.
Founded in 1992, Infinity Entertainment Inc. is a multi-faceted
Entertainment and Event Marketing Company dedicated to providing
highly differentiated, ROI driven, world-class experiences. Our
management consists of innovative, best-of-breed creatives who have
