Skies-ADSB v2.0: Real-time 3D Air Traffic in Your Browser

Skies-ADSB transforms your browser into a real-time 3D air traffic display. Leveraging ADS-B data from an RTL-SDR receiver, it allows exploration of local air traffic, surrounding airspace, and geography with customizable 3D maps. Built with JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, Python 3, and WebGL (Three.js), it runs on major modern browsers. Version 2.0 includes breaking changes from 1.x, requiring a fresh install. Users can report bugs, request features, and suggest improvements via the issue tracker. The project thanks Andre Thais CFI and Frank E. Hernandez for their contributions and utilizes public domain map data from Natural Earth and OpenStreetMap.
