AirCraft

My Submission for the WWDC26 Swift Student Challenge [Winner]

About This Playground

AirCraft is an iPad app that simplifies the challenging process of designing paper gliders.
It allows users to intuitively design gliders, run aerodynamic simulations, and eventually build them in the real world.
Beginners can learn the basics of aerodynamics while experiencing the joy of trial-and-error engineering.
