What's left behind the scenes
- Two full-scale spaceship hulls were constructed for the film's shooting: one with an open entrance and the other without. They were built from thin, curved sheets of wood stretched over a metal frame and painted with special reflective paint. Both models have been preserved and are periodically exhibited at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Orlando.
- The film was one of the first projects to utilize computer special effects. They were created by Omnibus Graphics, one of the earliest computer animation studios, which also participated in creating most of the classic 3D animated commercials of the 80s.
- In the original trailer for the film, Max was voiced by an actor other than Paul Reubens, as in the film. Paul Reubens later voiced the main character in the popular Disney simulator attraction “Star Tours,” which opened in 1987 and was based on the universe of George Lucas’s “Star Wars.”
- When David's parents drive up to the house at the beginning of the film, the radio in their car plays the song "You're The One That I Want" from *Grease* (1978), which was also directed by Randall Kleiser.
- In his room at NASA headquarters, David asks when the *Starsky & Hutch* series will be on television. Director Randall Kleiser also directed episodes of this series.
- The music video that David watches on television in his room at NASA headquarters is "Lose Your Love" by the then-popular band Blancmange.
- When Max describes various fictional creatures on the ship, he says, "This is a Phenastarus from Pixar Elliptic." Five years after the film's release, Pixar, then a small group of computer special effects and animation specialists, signed its first contract with Disney, the studio that made *Flight of the Navigator*.
- After David leaves, the gas station attendant tells the tourists present that "He just wanted to phone home." This is a clear reference to Steven Spielberg's *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial* (1982), whose protagonist also wanted to "phone home."
- The fictional homeworld of Max Faelon is located 560 light-years from Earth. However, the entire journey there takes just over two hours.
- Max, the ship's computer, speaks Bulgarian. When David enters the ship and sits in the pilot's seat, Max says: «Внимание. Облегни се. Чуй ме.» — which translates as «Attention. Lean back. Listen to me.»
