Airfoil app is now live

By General Aviation News Staff · November 23, 2016 ·

Airfoil, a new app for pilots and aviation enthusiasts, has officially launched.

Pilots and aviation enthusiasts using Airfoil can now connect to one another through the mobile app to buy, sell and lease everything from aircraft to airport land; create and participate in discussions locally and around the globe; and see event calendars for all kinds of aviation happenings.

“The whole world is trending towards simpler communication tools, and we see a tremendous opportunity to help pilots and aviation enthusiasts connect with one another more quickly and easily than ever before — via a smart, elegant, pilot-focused mobile app,” says Gil Hildebrand, Airfoil co-founder. “Just like a traditional airfoil, if there’s one core feature we’re offering, it’s less friction.”

The Airfoil team said they spent extensive time “beta testing” the app with thousands of pilots and aviation enthusiasts around the world towards perfecting Airfoil for launch.

Airfoil is available for download in the App Store and Google Play.

“As a pilot, I know first-hand how mobile apps are changing the aviation industry. Airfoil is the missing piece: A mobile app that brings the aviation community together and offers a true marketplace where pilots and aviation enthusiasts can buy, sell, trade, partner and lease anything and everything related to planes and flying! Airfoil is truly a new beginning for our mobile industry,” says Jay Taffet, Airfoil co-founder.
