Flight Simulator planes list: Aircraft manufacturers and every Standard, Deluxe and Premium aircraft in Flight Simulator listed

Which plane will you fly around the world?

Flight Simulator offers you a variety of planes to explore the skies with.

Thanks to Microsoft partnering with different aircraft manufacturers, your hangar has everything from aerobatic aircraft to jet airliners.

Below you'll find every plane currently available in Flight Simulator, along with which edition of the game who have to purchase to fly that aircraft.

If you're playing on PC, however, it's a good idea to ensure that your system meets the Flight Simulator specs first.
