Plan your next Aviassembly session
Our guide helps you master Aviassembly by breaking down each major system and offering practical observations. By focusing on design, mission planning, research, exploration, and sandbox experimentation, you'll develop a workflow that turns trial-and-error into efficient iteration, letting you build aircraft that consistently meet mission goals.
01 / THE GUIDE
Balancing Core Stats
Compare two aircraft that differ only in fuel tank size. Note how the added fuel affects takeoff distance and cargo capacity, then adjust wing size to compensate for any loss in lift.
- Start with a balanced mix of fuel and cargo capacity before focusing on speed.
- Test small changes in weight to see their impact on takeoff distance.
02 / THE GUIDE
Route Planning Drill
Map a long-distance mission, marking fuel stations along the way. Simulate a fuel shortage by removing one station and observe how the required fuel capacity changes.
- Map out fuel stops before long trips.
- Match cargo weight to your plane's current capacity to prevent overloading.
03 / THE GUIDE
Research Prioritization
Allocate a fixed budget to research either engine upgrades or cargo expansions. Track which investment yields higher mission earnings over several trips.
- Prioritize research that expands fuel capacity for longer routes.
- Upgrade cargo space after securing a reliable engine.
04 / THE GUIDE
Biome Adaptation Test
Select an island with a unique cargo type, then modify your plane's design to meet that cargo's specific requirement, noting performance shifts.
- Visit each new airport to learn its specific cargo demands.
- Use exploration trips to scout fuel availability before committing to long missions.
05 / THE GUIDE
Creative Sandbox Exploration
In creative mode, build an extreme design—such as a massive cargo hold with minimal engine power—and record how physics reacts during takeoff and landing.
- Try unconventional wing shapes to see their effect on lift.
- Build a massive cargo hold to understand weight distribution.
