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 in its airline's actual livery, 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.

Real airline liveries

The aircraft card is visual first: the plane appears in the operator's actual paint 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 imports or uploads the current schedule through 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 after transfer and the schedule is stored on the device.

If the roster changes, the pilot uploads the revised schedule again, receives a new one-time code, and the new schedule replaces the previous one. Crew Mode does not maintain a permanent live connection to the airline's crew portal or require the pilot's airline login credentials.

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.
