Four new blocks were introduced in the latest Build a Plane update: Balloon, Missile, Booster, and Shield. Here are their details:

• Balloon: Balloon is a rare item that can be used after installing a Balloon Deployer on your plane. One deployer costs 1000 cash at Bob’s Blocks shop. It dispatches a balloon automatically after the plane runs out of fuel. Note that it won’t save you from crashing.
• Missile: Missile is a legendary rarity item that costs 7500 cash at the shop. As of now, it is only a cosmetic item and doesn’t have any use in gameplay.
• Booster: Booster is an Epic rarity item that costs 2,500 cash. You can use it to increase your plane’s speed. It can be activated only once per run.
• Shield: Shield is a Mythic rarity item that costs 10000 cash. It deploys automatically and protects you from non-solid items, like tornadoes. A Shield can activate only once per turn.

3) New damage system

The developers have also introduced a new damage system in the latest update. Previously, a single crash would disassemble the plane, and you’d have to restart the flight. Now, crashing once will cause some blocks to fall (based on the impact), and you can keep flying. The plane will be demolished after all blocks fall, or upon experiencing a heavy impact, or crash onto the ground.

The developers have also added a new Max distance tracker feature in the latest update. It marks the farthest distance you have traveled to date.
