\nSimple Planes adds four types of aircraft:
\n– Small plane – uses the least amount of fuel, flies the fastest, but can only fit one player.
\n– Large plane\u00a0– uses up more fuel, but can fit two players and allows for large upgrades and can be used to drop payloads.
\n– Cargo plane – uses up a lot of fuel, but fits multiple players and large upgrades
\n– Helicopter – similar to large plane, but can be maneuvered with much more precision.
