PlaneQ is a free daily aircraft guessing game. Everyone gets the same mystery airliner, five attempts to name its manufacturer and model, and a spoiler-free result to share. Choose between airline clues and aircraft facts across all five clue slots.
Two modes go live each day. Current uses dated published fleet counts. Historic covers classic airliners — Concorde, the DC-10, the L-1011, the 747 Classic — flown by airlines past and present, including defunct legends like Pan Am and TWA. Each mode keeps its own streak.
PlaneQ asks you to identify an aircraft family using airline operators and aircraft facts. Choose the evidence that helps you most: cabin layout, engines, wing position, first airline service or a scoped passenger-capacity example. You have five attempts. Earlier archive puzzles retain their original rules.
Variants are grouped by number, so you only need the family, not the exact sub-type. Every A321 — ceo, neo, LR, and XLR — is simply Airbus A321, and every 737 from the -800 to the MAX is Boeing 737. Search by manufacturer, family or familiar variant, select an aircraft, and press Guess. The manufacturer turns green when you have the right maker.
Yes. Every daily aircraft puzzle is free and no account is required. Premium adds unlimited practice, advanced stats and global comparisons, the full Travel Passport, beta access, and an ad-free experience.
Each day has one mystery aircraft family per mode. Choose an airline or an aircraft fact for each clue. Your first clue and the clue after a wrong guess are free; extra clues use one of five attempts. The right manufacturer turns green and locks in.
Yes. PlaneQ uses one shared daily puzzle, five attempts, and a spoiler-free result, but the hidden answer is a real aircraft model. SkyQ is the sibling game where you identify a flight route instead.
Yes. All variants of a model count as one answer, so an A321, A321neo, and A321XLR are all just 'Airbus A321', and every 737 — from the -800 to the MAX — is 'Boeing 737'. You guess the manufacturer and model, not the exact sub-type.
Current uses dated passenger-fleet listings. Historic covers classic airliners such as Concorde, the DC-10 and the 747 Classic, with lifetime operator totals. Some classic types still fly. Each mode has its own daily puzzle and streak.
Every playable count and aircraft fact has a reviewed published source. Current counts are dated fleet listings, which may include stored or partner-operated aircraft. Historic counts are distinct aircraft operated over time. The answer shows source links, dates, variant scope and seating examples.
Most aircraft identification quizzes show a photo and ask you to recognize the silhouette or livery. During play, PlaneQ gives you airline operators or aircraft facts instead of a photo. You solve it using fleet knowledge and deduction.
