FlightForge

Fly a wing through a wind tunnel to see lift, drag, and stall for yourself, then predict which paper-plane design flies farthest before you launch it — the four forces of flight, hands-on. Every crash is data, not a failing.

Fly & experiment

Two hands-on labs — feel the four forces in a wind tunnel, and design planes that fly.

Wind-Tunnel Lab ✨ new Tilt a wing, change its shape, and speed the air up — watch lift, drag, and the stall happen in front of you, and read the evidence to hit each goal. Design-Fly Challenge ✨ new Predict which paper-plane design flies farthest before you launch them — then watch all the glide paths at once and find out why. Rocket Launchpad ✨ new Thrust up, weight down — predict whether a rocket leaves the pad, and how hard it climbs, before the forces reveal it. A rocket flies only when thrust beats weight.

Practice the concepts

16 kits from the four forces of flight and airplane parts, through aerodynamics, engines, weather, rockets, and drones, up to aircraft design and the future of flight — a short round with a hint whenever you get stuck. Your progress stays on this device.

Play together

Go head-to-head with a friend — same device or an online room.

FlightForge Duel (pass-and-play) 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room to play a friend on another device. FlightForge Journey — follow the map → A path through every kit. Clear each stop, then move on — see how far you’ve come.

Mixed practice

Mixed practice — revisit what you've learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you've played, brought back when they're ready to review. Great for making it stick. FlightForge Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss.
