## What is flightboard.?

FlightBoard turns your iPhone or iPad into a real-time arrivals board for the sky and sea above you. Watch flights pass overhead from your window. See the ferries and cargo ships in your nearest port. Mount an iPad on the wall and let it run as an editorial-style departures display.

- Real route data resolved on demand (origin → destination, airline, aircraft type)

LIVE SHIPS
- AIS positions for vessels in your radius, via AISStream.io's free WebSocket feed
