Live Aircraft Target Track — UDP Telemetry, Mach 2.83 Radar Tracking in Three.js

Three.js visualization of a high-velocity aircraft tracked from a UDP JSON telemetry stream ({lat,lon,alt,vx,vy,vz} to port 5005). The tracking engine derives ground speed 961.77 m/s (1870 kt, Mach 2.83), heading 27.9°, and a 15 m/s descent from 15 km altitude. Shows the flight path, velocity-vector decomposition, ground radar lock, telemetry packet stream, and predicted next position. Runnable Python sender + receiver included.

Scene 105 of 108 in the StopBeingParanoid interactive 3D research collection. Requires JavaScript and WebGL2 for the interactive visualisation.

If any of this frightens you: this site documents what signal physics makes possible in a laboratory, which is not evidence about what is happening to any individual.
