Pick a real airline configuration, drag the passenger slider, and watch the range ring shrink on the map, live. PlaneRange uses real manufacturer data to show exactly how far any aircraft can fly, based on how many people are actually on board. WORKS WITHOUT WI-FI The full app works offline. All aircraft data, airport data, and range calculations happen on-device. No connection needed! Perfect for playing with range scenarios on your next long-haul flight. SAVE YOUR FAVORITES Favorite the aircraft you fly most and the airports you care about. Jump back to any combination instantly. REAL AIRLINE CONFIGURATIONS "Boeing 787-9" isn't enough. Delta's A220 carries 109 seats; Swiss fits 125 in the same airframe. More seats means more weight means less range. PlaneRange lets you pick the specific airline config and the ring changes accordingly. No other range tool does this. WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE - Does a 737 MAX have the range to cross the Atlantic from Dublin? - How much range does a full load cost a 787-9 on the Singapore-New York run? - Can a Gulfstream G650ER circle the globe with one fuel stop? - What does the jet stream actually do to your range ring? - Which aircraft can operate from London City Airport's short runway? 55 AIRCRAFT, REAL DATA Commercial airliners, private jets, and general aviation — from the Cessna 172 to the Airbus A380. Range figures come from Boeing and Airbus Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning (ACAP) documents and official manufacturer specifications. Payload-range curves use a quadratic fit through three data points, matching the real concave shape of manufacturer diagrams. WIND & JET STREAM Toggle seasonal winds to see how the jet stream stretches your range eastbound and contracts it westbound. Jets at FL350 see full jet-stream strength; turboprops and GA aircraft cruise lower and see proportionally weaker winds. RUNWAY CHECKS Select a destination and PlaneRange checks whether the aircraft can actually stop in time, corrected for airport elevation. ETOPS OCEAN COVERAGE See which parts of the ocean have diversion airport coverage within 60, 120, or 180 minutes — and where the gaps are. FOR CURIOUS PASSENGERS, AVGEEKS, AND FLIGHT SIM PLAYERS PlaneRange is built for anyone who has ever looked out a plane window and wondered where this aircraft could actually reach. The data is serious; the experience is instant. For exploration only - not certified flight planning software.
