# What is MetaFlight exactly?

MetaFlight is a persistent aviation world built on top of flight simulation.

It connects realistic flying, player-driven missions and a live global economy into a single shared system.

You don’t just fly routes.

You participate in a world that evolves over time based on player activity.
