Roblox Build A Plane Guide

Let’s first understand the objective of the game: you have to build a plane using blocks and parts, then launch it to navigate obstacle-filled biomes and earn Cash based on the distance traveled.

Gameplay

You start with a basic setup. Your starter plane will have some rudimentary parts and will fly a short distance. Your task is to upgrade it gradually. To buy parts, go to the NPC stand titled “Purchase Parts.” Here, you will be able to buy various parts such as new blocks, seats, fuel cans, wings, and more.

Launch your plane to test its performance. The distance you cover depends on your plane’s design and efficiency. The more you fly, the more Cash you will earn. Use earned Cash to buy better parts, such as improved Propellers or Wings, to enhance your plane’s speed, movement, and durability.

Remember, your path will be full of obstacles. The starting levels will have fewer obstacles, but as you progress, they get trickier. Dodge these obstacles in the biomes to survive longer and earn more rewards. If you crash, you return to your starting base.

Your plane can continue to “fly” and earn rewards even when you’re offline.
