Realistic Airplane Landing Simulator

A clean, lightweight 2D airplane landing simulator with realistic physics.

Features

• Realistic thrust physics (fire one side → movement in opposite direction)
• Smooth airplane rotation and movement
• Gravity-based descent
• Proper landing/crash detection
• Clean visual design

Quick Start

python run_airplane_lander.py

Then open http://localhost:8005

Controls

• ← : Fire left engine (pushes plane RIGHT, tilts CLOCKWISE)
• → : Fire right engine (pushes plane LEFT, tilts COUNTER-CLOCKWISE)

Physics

• Realistic thrust behavior
• Smooth rotation with momentum
• Natural stabilization
• Weight and inertia simulation
• Soft acceleration
