X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy. Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs.īecause X-Plane predicts the performance and handling of almost any aircraft, it is a great tool for pilots to keep up their currency in a simulator that flies like the real plane, for engineers to predict how a new airplane will fly, and for aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aircraft flight dynamics. X-Plane contains subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, allowing users to predict the flight characteristics of the slowest aircraft or the fastest.

X-Plane also includes more than 30 aircraft in the default installation, spanning the aviation industry and its history. Aircraft included range from the Bell 206 JetRanger and Cessna 172 to the Space Shuttle and the B-2 Bomber. If those aren't enough, users can design their own airplanes and test-fly them! Additionally, more than 1,400 additional aircraft models can be downloaded from the Internet (, the Links page, and Google are good places to start looking), many of which are completely free.
