X-Plane 11.30+ Benoist XIV (America's First Airliner) 1.0. The Benoist XIV, also called The Lark of Duluth, was a small biplane flying boat built in the United States in 1913 in the hope of using it to carry paying passengers. The two examples built were used to provide the first heavier-than-air airline service anywhere in the world and the first airline service of any kind at all in the United States. There are two models in this package; a 1914 version resembling the aircraft built in St. Louis USA (VFR day only), and a 2014 hypothetical full IFR model, complete with HUD and lighting. Documentation included in the package. By Billy Bargagliotti.
