Hi Product Hunt! Quick one before the pitch: There's a tiny hole in your airplane window. What is it for? A) To vent humid cabin air outside B) To equalise pressure between the panes C) To keep the view from distorting Hold that thought. The answer is at the bottom. I made Aviation Trivia Quiz for the part of every trip where your phone is in airplane mode and you've run out of things to do: the gate, the taxi, the hour after the Wi-Fi gives up. Before writing a single question, I collected 400+ plane facts and checked each one against FAA, ICAO, NASA, manufacturer and museum sources. 39 of the most popular ones didn't make it in. The "air pocket" you fell into? There's no such hole in the sky. The lift explanation many of us learned at school, where air over the top "has further to go"? NASA lists it as an incorrect theory. Concorde, the first supersonic airliner to fly? The Tu-144 beat it by about two months. WHAT YOU GET A Flight is five questions: boarding, take-off, cruise, descent, landing. About one boarding queue long. Every answer comes with the why. You'll walk off with things like: the world's shortest scheduled flight is over in under two minutes, so the boarding announcement outlasts the flight. No signal needed. Actually none. Every question lives inside the app. When the honest answer is "it depends," it says so. The Expert level asks who made the first powered flight, and the real answer is that it changes with how you define "flight." Three levels. 16 languages. Free, ad-supported, no account. A LAUNCH-DAY CHALLENGE Beginner Flight 1 is the same five questions for everyone. Play it and post your score out of 5 below. Bonus points for telling me which one fooled you. WHY I CARE ABOUT THIS A quiz says "correct" with a green checkmark. That makes it one of the most confident formats there is, and aviation is full of explanations everyone repeats that an engineer wouldn't sign off on. I wanted trivia that's fun without quietly teaching anyone a myth. So, two questions: 1. What's the plane fact you always tell people? I'll check it against primary sources. If it holds up, it goes into a future update. If it doesn't, I'll reply with what I found. 2. Should a trivia game ever say "there's no single answer"? Or does that kill the fun? And if you think I got something wrong in the app, say so here. I'd rather be corrected in public. Answer: B. Cabin windows are several panes stacked together. The hole keeps the gap between them at cabin pressure, so the outer pane carries the load and the inner one stands by as a spare. It's supposed to be there. Thanks for boarding.
