Meet your mentor

Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

FlightForge is an aviation academy where you design, build, and fly your own aircraft! Learn the real science of flight -- lift, drag, thrust, and weight -- by building planes in a physics sandbox, testing them in a wind tunnel, and flying them through challenges. Start with paper planes and work yo

What's inside

Aircraft Designer

Choose a fuselage, wings, engine, and tail, then put them together. Each part has real physics properties that affect how your plane flies. Bigger wings give mo

Wind Tunnel

Test your aircraft design in the wind tunnel before flying it. See how air flows over your wings and where drag is slowing you down. Adjust your design based on

Flight Simulator

Take your aircraft to the sky! Tilt your phone to steer and complete challenges like "Fly through the canyon" or "Reach the highest altitude." Your plane handle

Engineering Challenges

Solve specific design problems like "Build a plane that can carry the heaviest cargo" or "Design the most fuel-efficient glider."

Built with ForgeKit

FlightForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
