## What is Airwaze?

Airwaze is a live aircraft app built for planespotters and aviation enthusiasts — not travelers. Every flight overhead, identified: type, route, altitude, distance and bearing from where you stand.

No subscriptions, no tracking, no ads.

THREE WAYS TO WATCH THE SKY

AIRWALL — Large-format panels for the closest aircraft: a hero photo of the actual airframe, the route with live progress, a full telemetry grid and an altitude bar. One to six panels — your window seat on the whole sky.

RADAR — A dark map with rotated silhouettes by aircraft category, a dashed range ring, trailing flight paths and a per-category mute legend. It reads like the scope it is named after.

NEARBY — You are the center. Every flight annotated with live distance, compass bearing and elevation angle, sorted closest-first. And Sky Pointer: hold the phone up, sweep the sky, and it names the flight you are aiming at.

FIELD DATA

• Price, subscriptions, ads, in-app purchases: 0 — free, no cost, and it’s yours. • Position refresh: 60 s — live ADS-B positions, straight to your device. • Overhead alert radius: 5 km — a haptic tap when traffic passes close. • Data collected about you: 0 — no accounts, no analytics, no tracking.

NOT A TRAVEL APP

No gate changes, no fare alerts, no seat maps. Airwaze does one thing: it tells you what that aircraft overhead is — the type, the operator, where it came from and where it is going — while you stand in a field watching it.

PRIVACY

Location and motion sensors are optional and processed on your device only. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.

“No subscription, no tracking, no ads. Free, no cost — pureplay for the people who love planes.” — The whole business model
