Jefferson Airplane was on a condensed schedule when considering their concerts and TV appearances. Several guest musicians were involved in the development of the album including David Crosby, Bill Goodwin, and Tim Davis. Track arrangements stand as complex and sophisticated further explaining why the band had no hit-ready singles. Overall it was much more tightly structured than their previous effort. The Airplane included heavy-rock jams similar to their live act, and folk-rock compositions, a nod to their work on Surrealistic Pillow. Stylistically it was their most diverse album to date, taking everything the band had attempted previously and developing to that point. Recording took place in early 1968 well into the summer in RCA studios in which the band included distorted sound effects and guitar sections, and tracks enriched in overdubbing. Writing was generally equal among the group members as they all took part in one or more tracks. The combination of individuals continued the experimentation and visionary lyrical compositions that made them quintessential in the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene. The band became a tight grouping and much of their composing began at their new headquarters. Costing $73,000, the home, known as 'The Airplane House' or simply 'The Mansion' included a refurbished basement with a built-in recording studio. Prior to recording, the group had their manager and promoter Bill Thompson purchase a large 20-room, three-story, home at 2400 Fulton Street directly across from Golden Gate Park in San Francisco where the members would live communally. It was voted number 591 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000).

Its two singles ('Greasy Heart', released in April 1968, followed by the title track in November) were modest hits on the Hot 100 chart. 6 on the Billboard Pop Charts and earning a RIAA gold certification. While failing to eclipse Surrealistic Pillow (1967) from a commercial standpoint, the album was a considerable success in comparison to its immediate predecessor, peaking at No. Containing more rock music than previous efforts, the album saw the band continuing their development of psychedelic music, emphasizing acid rock with science fiction themes.
