Look up – and know exactly what's flying there.
AirRadar shows you all airplanes, gliders, and helicopters in your vicinity in real time – on a classic radar or an interactive map.
REAL-TIME RADAR
The pulsating sweep radar updates every 3 seconds. See aircraft with altitude, heading, speed, and flight path at a glance. Altitude coloring instantly shows you whether an aircraft is on final approach or cruising altitude.
MAP VIEW
Switch between radar and map – including airports near you. Tap on an aircraft for details: type, airline, country of origin, photo, and planned route.
MORE THAN JUST AIRLINERS
Thanks to the Open Glider Network (OGN), you can also see gliders, hang gliders, balloons, and small motorized aircraft – not just the big airliners.
AIRCRAFT COLLECTION
Collect aircraft types like a logbook. From the Cessna 172 to the Airbus A380 – over 100 types in 9 albums are waiting to be discovered. Every sighted aircraft is automatically recorded with a photo, date, and flight data. Complete albums receive a gold badge.
NOTIFICATIONS
Get notified when a new aircraft enters your radius – even in the background. Filter by all aircraft, only scheduled flights, or your personal watchlist.
