Special Abilities are perks that become available for installation on an aircraft once it reaches
aircraft level 8. Installing a Special Ability requires both a 
Ability Blueprint and
5000
silver. The successful installation grants 
hangar points, similar to upgrading an aircraft. After installation, Special Abilities can be further enhanced using additional Ability Blueprint and
silver. While each aircraft typically has a unique special ability, some aircraft share the same Special Ability. However, even if two aircraft share the same Special Ability the Ability Blueprint must be for the specific aircraft that the ability needs to be installed on. Ability Blueprint can be found in Crates and in the shop.
