ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Flightradar24

Flightradar24 is like a game that shows you where airplanes are flying all over the world. Imagine you are playing with your toy planes and you can see where they are flying on a map. Flightradar24 works just like that, but with real airplanes in the sky.

When an airplane takes off, it sends out a signal that tells Flightradar24 where it is flying. This signal is like a message with important information like the airplane's location, how high it is flying, and where it is going. Flightradar24 collects all this information from many different airplanes and puts it together on a map for you to see.

You can see lots of different details about each airplane, like its flight number, its speed, and its altitude. You can even click on an airplane and see its picture and more information about where it is going and where it started from.

Flightradar24 is really helpful for people who need to know when a specific airplane is arriving or leaving from an airport. It is also really fun to use and watch, and you can learn a lot about how airplanes travel all over the world.
