FlightFlux vs Flightglobe

Meet FlightFlux – a modern, map-first flight tracker built for aviation fans, frequent flyers, and the simply curious. • Explore live air traffic worldwide Pan and zoom around a clean, high-contrast map to see aircraft moving in real time. Tap any plane to instantly see who it is, where it is headed, and how high and fast it is flying. • Rich flight details at a glance View callsign, registration, aircraft type, altitude in feet, speed in knots, vertical rate, heading, and last contact time. See origin and destination when route information is available, plus handy status labels like on ground vs airborne. • Beautiful track replay Open any flight to see a color-coded trail of its recent path, with altitude changing along the way. Follow long-haul routes, approaches, and holding patterns in seconds. • Weather-ready map layers Overlay global wind patterns to see how real winds aloft shape routes and turbulence. Quickly toggle layers on and off to keep the map as simple or detailed as you like. • Powerful map experience Recenter on your position, choose your preferred map provider (on supported devices), and switch between dark and light themes that match your system or in-app preference. • Build your own watchlist Save interesting aircraft or flights so you can jump back to them quickly. Perfect for tracking friends and family, favorite liveries, or local traffic over your city. Notes and data sources FlightFlux uses public aviation data and may not show every aircraft at all times. Coverage can vary by region and airspace, and some flights may be delayed or unavailable.

Flying is incredible: one of the few experiences that allow us intuitively feel the massive scale of the globe we call home. Many flight trackers show the flight path, but they miss the best part of this astrological dance: the chase between your flight, the earth's rotation, the sun, and the lightshows of sunrise/sunset/auroral activity. Flightpath helps put that chase into perspective with simple, beautiful visualizations. Type your flight number, then see your aircraft on a photoreal 3D Earth, with the real-time day/night terminator, your home time zone, the destination time zone, and a glowing sun out in space. Drag the timeline scrubber to fast-forward through the flight and see exactly when sunset will catch you over your flightpath. • Real flight data: schedules, waypoints, and altitude covering 800+ airlines. • Photoreal globe: actual NASA Blue Marble imagery, with a custom shader blending day and night based on the real subsolar position. • Aurora forecast: when the northern or southern lights are active, you'll see them painted on the globe. • Time-zone clarity: three clocks at the top: where you came from, where you are right now, where you're going. • Time scrubber: drag to see where your plane and the sun will be at any point in your trip. • Works offline: once you've armed your flight, FlightGlobe runs without internet. Perfect for in-flight Wi-Fi blackouts. • No tracking: no ads, no analytics, no servers collecting your data. Built for travelers, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who's ever wanted to understand exactly what's happening outside the window at 35,000 feet. Privacy: FlightGlobe stores all flight data locally on your device. The only data sent over the network is the flight number you type (to AeroDataBox) and anonymous aurora-grid requests to NOAA.
