Top 23 Aviation Open-Source Projects

  • GAAS

    GAAS is an open-source program designed for fully autonomous VTOL(a.k.a flying cars) and drones. GAAS stands for Generalized Autonomy Aviation System.

  • stratux

    Aviation weather and traffic receiver based on RTL-SDR.

  • Project mention: stratux.me down | /r/stratux | 2023-05-12

    stratux.me seems to be non-functional. I think this has been mentioned on here before. Maybe have it redirect to the github page? Is this the github page we should be using? https://github.com/cyoung/stratux

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • SoftRF

    :airplane: Multi-functional, compatible DIY general aviation proximity awareness system

  • RTLSDR-Airband

    Multichannel AM/NFM demodulator

  • Project mention: Listen to HD radio with a $30 RTL SDR dongle | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-05

    You're all correct, except there are not that many $30 SDRs out there. Also, most SDRs have clearly superior capabilities to the RTL-SDR, though those capabilities often are not required.

    BTW, for simple AM/FM demodulation I cannot recommend enough the handy https://github.com/charlie-foxtrot/RTLSDR-Airband. For example most of LiveATC.net feeds run on it.

  • openscope

    openScope Air Traffic Control Simulator

  • Project mention: OpenScope Air Traffic Control Simulator | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07
  • XCSoar

  • fly-catcher

    ✈️ A device that detects for aircraft spoofing by monitoring for malicious ADS-B signals in the 1090MHz frequency. Built using a Raspberry Pi 3B and a FlightAware SDR

  • Project mention: Air Travel Is Not Ready for Electronic Warfare | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-10

    For those interested in a good writeup on the subject, this explains alot of why Air Travel is vulnerable:

  • StratuxHud

    Heads Up Display for use with Stratux. Designed for reflective HUD screens, intended for traffic call outs.

  • Project mention: Remembering what flying was like fifty years ago | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-04

    I’m just here to plug my buddy John’s homebuilt/exerimentatal/open-source HUD, primarily intended for VFR use as an ADS-B traffic display.

  • Project mention: PPG.report now works globally | /r/paramotor | 2023-05-28

    Thank you u/aeharding !!! I use ppg.report regularly -- you can Sponsor/support Alexander and his hard work here: https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding

  • Aeropedia

    Aviation encyclopedia for Android with Real Time Flight Tracker, Amazon Alexa and a robust community of aviation enthusiasts

  • runway-app

    Easy way to find the best runway for takeoff or land. Enter airport ICAO code and get runways suggestions based on wind data.

  • Project mention: Is windy.com a reliable tool for flight planning? | /r/MicrosoftFlightSim | 2023-05-27

    But, I can suggest AirportDB which shows the best runways at your airports based on winds.

  • BaseStation.sqb

    Builds BaseStation.sqb from OpenSky Network CSV file

  • VFR-Flight-Planner

    Automatic planning for VFR flights

  • parametric-printable-wing

  • Project mention: Parametric 3D printable NACA airfoil wing | /r/RCPlanes | 2023-05-30

    I designed a basic parametric 3D printable NACA wing in my quest for a RC scale printed autonomous plane. It should work with most NACA airfoils, and can be printed without retractions in vase mode. There's still a lot to improve really (e.g. structures for the wing spar), but I'm pretty happy I managed to get it this far. I've designed multiple printable wings in Fusion360 before, but having them even remotely parametric (or even being able to change anything after it's done) is quite a pain. Not anymore! 😁 https://github.com/evertdespiegeleer/parametric-printable-wing
