# Aero Echo
|
||||
|
||||
A real-time flight tracking application that displays live aircraft movements on an interactive map.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Real-Time Tracking**: Watch aircraft positions update instantly with WebSocket connections
|
||||
- **Global Coverage**: Track flights worldwide with extensive ADS-B network coverage
|
||||
- **Live Data**: Access comprehensive flight details including altitude, speed, and heading
|
||||
- **Smart Filtering**: Flight data is filtered based on map zoom level and boundaries for optimal performance
|
||||
- **Responsive Design**: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Technologies Used
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend
|
||||
|
||||
- **Next.js** - React framework for optimized performance and seamless navigation
|
||||
- **Socket.IO Client** - WebSocket technology for real-time bidirectional communication
|
||||
- **Tailwind CSS** - Utility-first CSS framework for styling
|
||||
- **Lucide React** - Beautiful icon library
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend
|
||||
|
||||
- **Node.js** - JavaScript runtime environment
|
||||
- **Express** - Web application framework for Node.js
|
||||
- **Socket.IO** - Real-time event-based communication
|
||||
- **ADSB.one API** - Real-time aircraft data streaming
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Node.js (v18 or higher)
|
||||
- npm or yarn
|
||||
- Git
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔧 Installation
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `.env` file in the backend directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
NODE_ENV=development
|
||||
PORT=3001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `.env.local` file in the frontend directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api/v1
|
||||
NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Running the Application
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📡 API Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
This application uses the ADSB.one API with the following constraints:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Coverage Radius**: Limited to 250 nautical miles from a specific location
|
||||
- **Rate Limiting**: Maximum 1 request per second to the API
|
||||
- **Data Caching**: Server-side global variable caching is implemented to optimize performance and respect rate limits
|
||||
- **Smart Filtering**: Flight data is filtered based on map zoom level and boundaries to provide relevant information efficiently
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. Backend makes requests to ADSB.one API (max 1 req/sec)
|
||||
2. Flight data is cached in a global variable on the server
|
||||
3. Frontend connects to backend via Socket.IO
|
||||
4. Backend filters and sends relevant data based on map boundaries
|
||||
5. Frontend receives real-time updates and displays aircraft on the map
|
||||
|
||||
### Caching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
To respect the API's 1 request/second limit, the backend:
|
||||
|
||||
- Maintains a global cache of all aircraft data
|
||||
- Updates the cache once per second
|
||||
- Filters data based on client's map view
|
||||
- Pushes only relevant data to connected clients
