Aileron | You Have Control

What is Aileron?

Aileron builds professional websites for virtual airlines.

Most virtual airlines live in a Discord server and a tangle of spreadsheets. It works; but it doesn’t look like the airline you’ve built in your head. Aileron gives your VA a real home on the web: a polished front door for recruiting pilots, a place to show off your fleet and route network, and a clean way to run the day-to-day, without touching a line of code.

The name comes from the control surface a pilot uses to steer. That’s the idea: you stay in command of how your airline looks and runs online, and we handle everything underneath. Whether you’re two friends with a callsign or a 500-pilot group, your site arrives ready for pushback.

Our Mission

To make every virtual airline look, and operate, like the real thing.

A brand-new VA shouldn’t have to settle for a worse first impression than the biggest groups just because it can’t spare a web developer. We’re here to level that runway: give every airline a presence it’s proud to share, so the focus stays where it belongs; on flying and your community, not on fighting with website tools.

Great airlines deserve great wings. We build them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does Aileron actually build?

A complete website for your virtual airline: a homepage, fleet and route pages, an about/staff section, and a pilot application form; all in your own colours and branding.

Who is it for?

Aileron is for everyone. Even if you’re not a virtual airline, we can work things out. Just give @AviatorChina a PM, and we can get started.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not at all. You tell us about your airline; we do the building. No HTML, no hosting headaches, no plugins to wrestle with.

Can I update it myself after launch?

Yes. Send us a PM in IFC or a DM in Discord, and we’ll ship it in 1-3 hours*

Subject to availability, time zones, and size of updates

Do you handle hosting and the domain?

It depends. Your website is hosted on Vercel, so you can choose not to have a custom domain. (e.g. www.yourvasite.com) However, if you want a domain, we can work things out just fine, and your website will be connected to the domain in no time.

How much does it cost?

0$ currently. New pricing and subscriptions coming soon.

How long does it take?

Typically takes 1-2 days to reply, and a week to get your first version up and running, depending on availability. However, this can vary depending on many factors.

I already have a Discord or an old site; can you work with that?

Absolutely. We’ll match your existing branding and link everything together, or rebuild from scratch if you’d rather start clean.
