Grumman G-73 Mallard FSX & P3D & FS9

The Grumman G-73 Mallard is offered for FSX, Prepar3D and FS2004. The February 2018 update applies only to the native FSX/Prepar3D edition, which supports Prepar3D v4 and has fifteen liveries; it does not update the FS2004 version.

Contributors are Milton Shupe, Nigel Richards, Rachael Whiteford, Rui Cristina, William Ellis and Roman Stoviak. The presentation video is by FS Enthusiasts.

The real Mallard was developed for the post-war civilian market, following the Goose and Widgeon. It accommodated ten passengers, and Grumman built 59 between 1946 and 1951.

The twin-engine amphibian combines a high wing, underwing floats and retractable tricycle landing gear. Its two-step hull and wingtip fuel tanks distinguish it from the family’s smaller amphibians. Some real aircraft were later converted to turboprop power.
