How do I see what planes are flying over my house?

Visit the Planes.FYI overhead tracker, allow location access or choose a location on the map, and you'll see all aircraft currently flying above your location with flight details, altitude, and destination information.

Can I project planes on my ceiling?

Yes! Planes.FYI has a projector mode that displays real-time overhead air traffic. Connect a projector, point it at your ceiling, and planes will move across in real-time matching their actual positions in the sky above you.

What's Flying Overhead? — Live Aircraft Above Your Location

See every aircraft flying over your location in real-time. Our overhead tracker uses ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data to show you the planes above you right now, with flight details including airline, aircraft type, altitude, speed, origin, and destination.

Project Planes on Your Ceiling

Connect a projector to your computer and point it at your ceiling to create a live display of air traffic above your home. Planes move across your ceiling in real-time, matching their actual positions in the sky. It's like having a transparent ceiling that lets you see through to the planes above.

How It Works

We use real-time ADS-B data from aircraft transponders to determine the position, altitude, speed, and heading of every aircraft in your area. This data is rendered on a map centered on your location, showing planes as they pass overhead. The view updates continuously so you always see the current state of the sky above you.
