The BUILD AIRPLANES application allows users to design and build their own airplanes using a variety of tools and parts. By snapping parts together, users can create the body of their airplane and add engines for thrust. They can also design and attach wings before taking their creation for a test flight in the cockpit.
For those who prefer to download pre-made airplanes, the DOWNLOAD AIRPLANES feature offers over 250,000 options for free from SimplePlanes.com. From historical bombers to futuristic spacecraft, there is a wide range of options to choose from. Users can also upload their own creations and work their way up from a bronze builder to a gold level builder.
The application also boasts a DYNAMIC FLIGHT MODEL, which simulates the real-life physics of flying. Every change made in the designer, such as weight distribution or thrust, will affect how the airplane flies. Users can even experience the thrill of parts breaking off during flight due to over-stress or collisions. And for those with advanced skills, they can continue flying even with a missing wing.
In SANDBOX MODE, users have access to all available parts and can build airplanes without any restrictions. This allows for unlimited creativity and the ability to push the boundaries of what is possible in airplane design.
The CHALLENGES feature offers a variety of tasks for users to test their custom aircraft. From landing on aircraft carriers to dodging missiles, there are endless challenges to keep users entertained.
Finally, the application also has an educational aspect with Tutorials that teach users the basics of real airplane design and the important considerations that need to be taken into account. This makes BUILD AIRPLANES not only a fun game, but also a valuable learning tool for those interested in aviation.
