Choose the right airplane with data, not guesswork.
Answer a few plain‑English questions and get a ranked shortlist of aircraft that truly fit your mission — with transparent assumptions, tradeoffs, and realistic operating costs.
1) Tell us your mission
Select two cities (we calculate distance), add passengers, and your shortest runway. No jargon, no spreadsheets.
2) See fit scores with proof
We normalize NBAA‑IFR range, factor runway planning and density altitude, and score payload @ full fuel, costs, speed, and comfort.
3) Compare, decide, finance
Compare side‑by‑side, see assumptions and sources, then proceed to financing when you’re ready.
Why buyers choose The Right Airplane
