Aluminum Glider

Launch a can-foil glider and ride thermals for distance!

Launch a glider made of can foil and ride thermals across a sprawling landscape. Aim your launch angle and power, then bank left and right to catch warm air columns that push you skyward. Avoid rooftop obstacles and manage your lift, drag, and stall speed to soar as far as possible. Experienced pilots can ride thermals indefinitely for epic distance records.

About Aluminum Glider

Aluminum Glider is a free online flying game where a foil glider rides thermals above a wide landscape. You dial in launch angle and launch power, then bank left and right to catch the warm columns of air that push you skyward. Rooftops and obstacles punish greedy lines while stall speed, drag, and lift all pull in different directions. The distance record belongs to whoever reads the sky best, and a great flight can feel almost indefinite.

How to Play Aluminum Glider

• Adjust launch angle and launch power on the title screen.
• Press space or tap the screen to launch.
• Bank left and right with arrow keys to hunt for thermal columns.
• Avoid stalling by keeping pitch under control.
• Fly as far as you can before landing or crashing.

Features

Tips and Strategy

• Circle inside a thermal to stay in the lift band as long as possible.
