Real-time state vectors for aircraft globally, capturing categories such as latitude, longitude, barometric altitude, and velocity. It utilizes high-frequency kinematic data from the OpenSky Network's crowdsourced receiver network to track flight trajectories and operational statuses.
Use Cases
- Analyze flight path deviations by comparing latitude and longitude coordinates over time
- Model aircraft performance and fuel efficiency using the velocity and vertical rate columns
- Monitor airspace congestion by aggregating state vectors within specific geographic boundaries
- Identify specific airframes and their flight history using the unique ICAO 24-bit address field
Strengths
- Includes precise spatial coordinates via latitude and longitude columns
- Provides vertical movement data through barometric altitude and vertical rate fields
- Contains unique identifiers for each aircraft using the ICAO 24-bit address
- Tracks movement dynamics including ground speed and true track heading
