Will It Fly? Free is the #2 free app in the UK!

This is the full version of Will It Fly, with nearly 70 different takeoff scenarios.

As a bush pilot of a small aircraft you must take off with as much cargo and as many passengers as you safely can, while avoiding terrain and obstacles. Earn points by pushing your airplane to its limit, but beware: The more you carry, the worse your aircraft will perform!

How many passengers and how much cargo can you successfully take off with, and still outclimb obstacles and terrain? This game applies the real-world laws of aviation to a variety of challenging scenarios.

As in the real world of flying, a headwind can be your ally. Wind reduces the speed at which you travel over ground, but it does not affect climb speed, so a strong headwind can provide pilots with a steep climb angle.

Hot, High, and Heavy. Any combination of these can produce disasterous results. Hot or high atmospheric conditions indicate thin air, which reduces aircraft performance by lengthening the takeoff roll and reducing your climb angle. Too much weight will have the same effect on aircraft performance.

Pros and cons of Will It Fly? app for iPhone and iPad

Will It Fly? app good for

As a real world pilot, I can honestly say that this is "what its like" in the real world of bush flying. You make takeoff decisions based on your past experiences, common sense and gut feelings. And dont pressure yourself into being a hero pilot. Hats off to the developers for taking a great aviation concept and simplifying it to the casual game level. Everyone should be trying their other game, Airport Madness Mobile, which is based on air traffic control.
My sister and I love to play the game. Its fun! We cam beat you boys anyday!
The full version is pretty advanced, yet simple enough fir beginners. Any chance of more stuff to climb above???

Some bad moments

This game is terrible. I purchased it thinking I was going to be flying a plane a little. You do nothing except push a button to put something in. Waste of money. Do not purchase!
I am a professional pilot and this game looked like fun to guess your performance for takeoff in a small plane. On the good side it is easy to under stand (you put passengers and cargo in the aircraft and see if you can takeoff, clearing the obstacle at hand). You try each map three times before going to the next map so you can fine that takeoff. On the bad side, you have too little information to make a good guess about takeoff weight i.e. (max gross weight, altitude, temperature). You do get wind and you just look at what you have to climb over but that is fun for a minute but I would like to have a little more to work with. I did play it for 30 minutes to see if it would get better but not so far. It should be free. In close, good idea but needs more. Wait for the next version that offers more.
First off I love airport madness so I know the company is good. However, this game is just bad. Zero fun, there is no way to gauge how much weight to load into the airplane until you play through it many times. Then you must remember how much weight you added for a certain wind condition and level. There is a lack of level diversity as well. As an aviation enthusiast and pilot I expect more, and suspect that even a novice looking for fun will also expect more. Dont wast your dollar.
You do not realy control the airplane u just put weight on it
With previous reviewers. This game blows. I love flight sims, was a student pilot and flew powered paragliders.. This game has nothing to do with aviation.. Its a guessing game at best with very primitive animations.... Boooooring...
If you want play just download the free version. Its only load, fly or crash.
