In Build A Plane, designing your dream aircraft isn’t just about looks—it’s about combining the right parts to build a plane that can fly far, fast, and survive any challenge. Whether you’re after speed, defense, or style, understanding the game’s parts system is key. This guide breaks down how to get parts and what each category of part does, If you are new to the game, this guide is better for you!
How to Get Parts in Build A Plane
To start collecting parts for your plane, head to Bob’s Block Shop, which is located on the left side of the playing area. This shop is your main source for all parts, and here’s how it works:
- You can buy parts using in-game Money or Robux.
- Each item has limited stock, so if something is sold out, you’ll need to wait 15 minutes for the shop to refresh.
- Not every part is always available. Higher-tier parts like missiles or energy shields appear less often and are priced higher due to their rarity (legendary or mythical).
Plan your purchases and keep checking back often, especially if you’re after the rare and powerful components.
What Each Part Does in Build A Plane
Parts are divided into five main categories, each playing a specific role in how your plane performs. Here’s a breakdown of what each category does:
1. Building Blocks
These are the basic structural parts that don’t serve a mechanical function, but they’re essential for building and organizing the rest of your aircraft.
- Purpose: Structure and design.
- Examples: Regular Blocks, Driver Seat.
2. Fuels
Fuel parts determine how long your aircraft can stay airborne. Better fuel means longer flight time.
- Purpose: Controls flight duration.
- Examples: Fuel Can, Better Fuel, Best Fuel.
3. Propellers
Propellers are critical for thrust and speed. The better the propeller, the faster and farther you can fly. Some, like missiles or boosters, offer powerful boosts or offensive capability.
- Purpose: Controls speed and thrust.
- Examples: Propeller, Better Propeller, Rocket Booster, Missile.
4. Wings
These parts affect stability, lift, and sometimes utility (like floating).
- Purpose: Maintains balance and lift in the air.
- Examples: Wing, Better Wing, Balloon Deployer.
5. Defense
Defensive components help your aircraft withstand attacks or provide special protections during flight.
- Purpose: Protection and survivability.
- Examples: Energy Shield.
