Telegram Aircraft Bot is Telegram bot that offers a simple visualisation of nearby aircraft.

When given your location, it sends you a list of nearby aircraft and overlays on a map of the area. It uses the same ADS-B data as FlightRadar24, but strips back the UI to offer a smoother UX when out and about.

A web version is also available at https://tab.prout.tech. The website has reduced functionality compared to the Telegram bot.

Uses:

  • python-telegram-bot framework for the telegram bot.
  • Quart (async Flask) for the web backend.
  • Vue.js for the web frontend.
