Flightradar24

Flightradar24 is a global flight tracking service that provides real-time online viewing of information and flight trajectories of thousands of aircraft worldwide. It combines multiple data sources, including ADS-B, MLAT, and radar data, as well as airline and airport schedules and flight status information, to create a unique flight tracking experience.

Flightradar24 comes in three versions: web, iOS, and Android, and users can download it from the App Store and Google Play. It can also provide a Cockpit View mode for drivers, allowing users to have an immersive experience of simulating flight. In addition, Flightradar24 also provides estimated and real-time flight trajectories of aircraft. Users can search to view the flight information of each aircraft, including punctuality, altitude, heading, speed, as well as conflict warning information and route turning point information.

Flightradar24's database supports viewing approximately 60% of global flight information, of which 70% are European flights and the rest are US flights. Its working principle mainly utilizes broadcast based automatic correlation monitoring (ADS-B) technology. The aircraft regularly broadcasts location information through the ADS-B transponder installed on board. The ADS-B ground receiver of Flightradar24 receives relevant signals, and then these data are synchronously updated to Flightradar24's website and app.

operational principle

Nowadays, most aircraft are equipped with ADS-B transmitters that can transmit position data. The ground station network of Flightradar24 is growing rapidly, with 20000 ground stations worldwide. These ground stations receive this data and display it as the movement of aircraft on the map in the application. In an increasing number of regions, with the help of diversification, we can calculate the position of aircraft without ADS-B transducers. The coverage of North America is supplemented by real-time radar data. The coverage range is variable and may change at any time.
