Long · about 100 words

WingsAbove is a Wi-Fi-connected 7-inch touchscreen built for people who look up when they hear an airplane. The display cycles through aircraft around the user's location, showing a live radar over a real map alongside the aircraft's flight number, type, route, altitude and speed. A tap opens aircraft details and live flight tracking; separate views show nearby traffic, airport arrival and departure boards, and live runway movement. Crew Mode can load a pilot's current schedule onto the display so the flights that matter to a crew or family stay visible. No local ADS-B receiver or antenna is required.

What makes it different

Built around the aircraft, not just the flight number.

7″ 1024×600 touchscreen

Enough resolution for maps, aircraft artwork, runway layouts and touch interaction rather than a text-only or low-resolution matrix presentation.

Visual, not a list

The aircraft card is visual first: the airplane is drawn at a glanceable size alongside live route, altitude and speed.

Runway view

Watch the airport itself move — aircraft on final, approaching, taxiing or departing against the runway layout.

Crew Mode

Load the flights that belong to a pilot or family into one view rather than repeatedly searching individual flight numbers.

Screen Cast

The device can put its live view onto another screen over the local network, including a TV, tablet, phone or browser.

No ADS-B hardware at home

Connect the display to Wi-Fi, set its location and use it without a rooftop antenna or local receiver.

Crew Mode: how schedule loading actually works

A pilot pastes the calendar subscription link their crew portal publishes into the WingsAbove web tool, receives a one-time six-digit pairing code, and enters that code on the 7-inch display. The code is consumed once the display has paired.

The display keeps re-reading that calendar link (about every half hour), so when the roster changes the new schedule replaces the previous one on its own. A pilot whose portal only offers a downloaded file can upload it instead; that is a snapshot, and a changed roster means uploading the new file with a fresh code. Crew Mode never signs in to the airline's crew portal and never asks for the pilot's airline login.

Use the gold WingsAbove mark and wordmark without recolouring, stretching or adding effects. Transparent files are preferred over screenshots of the logo.

A raster press pack is provided here because the current gold identity was supplied as raster artwork. If a vector master becomes available, it should replace the raster logo as the canonical print asset.
