X-Plane 10 is the most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator available for the personal computer. X-Plane 10 simulates anything that flies: from single-engine fixed wing props to multi-engine jets; gliders to dirigibles; helicopters to spacecraft to VTOLs. X-Plane 10 simulates them all.
Using blade-element theory, X-Plane 10 accurately simulates the aerodynamic properties of any lifting surface, producing the most realistic flight dynamics available.
Create your own aircraft using the included Plane-Maker tool, or design your own scenery with World-Maker. X-Plane 10 includes over 30 aircraft spanning the aviation industry and history, with hundreds more commercial and user-created planes available for download from the internet.
