Plane Workshop

About Plane Workshop

Plane Workshop is a free build-and-fly game. First you choose three parts in the workshop: an engine, a set of wings and a fuel tank. Then you take off and fly as far as you can through a field of clouds. Your choices change how fast you fly, how well the plane turns and how long the fuel lasts.

There is no single perfect build. A light engine is fast but burns fuel quicker, a heavy engine is slow but efficient, and the wings decide how twitchy or smooth the steering feels, so you have to find the combination that suits your own flying.

How scoring works

• Your score is the distance in metres you fly before the run ends.
• The run ends when the fuel runs out or when you hit a cloud.
• Your best distance is saved in your browser and can be sent to the ranking.
• Every 20 m you fly earns 1 coin. Spend coins on permanent engine, wing and fuel upgrades (up to five levels each) in the workshop.

Tips to improve

• Wide wings give smooth control, which helps if you are not used to steering through clouds.
• A light engine is fast, but it also burns fuel faster. Try the balanced engine first.
• Hold to climb and release to descend in small steps instead of large swings.
• Move before a cloud reaches you. Last-second turns often clip it.

Frequently asked questions

What do the three parts do?

The engine sets speed and fuel use, the wings set how responsive the steering is, and the fuel tank sets how long you can fly.

How do I steer?

Hold the mouse, space bar or screen to climb and release to descend. Use the arrow keys or drag to steer around clouds.

Can I change parts after taking off?

No. Use Back to Workshop to pick a new build and try again.
