Build flying vehicles with Create Aeronautics on Astra. Start with short flights near your base, then work on cargo trips and a hangar. Playing on the server is free.
Pick a design for a specific task. Understanding steering and landing is more useful on a first build than making a huge hull. Leave space to change the layout: after a test flight, moving a component may help more than simply adding propulsion.
Work out how the aircraft will enter its hangar and where incoming cargo will be stored. Keep the approach clear of nearby buildings. At a shared base, separate experimental flights from the area where other players park and unload their vehicles.
Agree on a landing point and cargo with the receiving player before leaving. Fly the first route with a small shipment. Check the unloading process too: an awkward path from the landing area to storage can take longer than the flight itself.

Good to know
Before you join.
Is a paid pass required to build aircraft?
No. Joining and playing on Astra are free. You need the server pack and an aircraft built in the game to fly.
Why does the craft handle differently with cargo?
Cargo changes the mass and its distribution. Check where it is placed, then repeat a short local flight before attempting a longer delivery.
What else does an airship project need?
Plan assembly space, a clear departure route, an arrival area and cargo access. Test the craft with the load you intend to carry.
