Live flight radars for your desk. Designed, 3D printed and assembled in-house. Real planes, real time, no subscription.
It started with a simple question: what is that plane up there?
Aurora Contrail makes small desk displays that answer it. Each one shows the aircraft flying around your home in real time: the flight number, where it is coming from and going to, the aircraft type, its altitude and speed. Glance at your desk, then look up.
WHAT WE MAKE
AURORA Mini: a compact desk radar with a 1.3 inch color screen.
AURORA Touch and Max: touchscreen radars with a 2.4 or 2.8 inch screen.
CONTRAIL: our flagship. A 2.8 inch touchscreen with aircraft photos, a sky view that shows which way to look, and airport weather with the runway in use.
HOW THEY ARE MADE
We design the cases, write the software and assemble every device ourselves. The cases are 3D printed in PLA in-house, so each one carries the fine layer lines of the printer. Every device is checked before it ships, and every box includes a printed user guide.
NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO APP
Plug it in, scan the QR code on the screen with your phone and pick your home Wi-Fi. There is no account to create and nothing to pay each month. Software updates install automatically over Wi-Fi, and your settings are kept.
WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
Aircraft positions come from free community flight-tracking networks: volunteers around the world receive aircraft signals with their own antennas and share them openly. Coverage depends on the receivers near you, and not every aircraft shares its position. Each listing names its data sources, and CONTRAIL credits every photographer on screen.
