  AirplaneJS is a JavaScript app that utilizes software-defined radio (SDR) technology to receive ADS-B radio signals from airplanes. It then plots the received data in real-time on a map within your browser. To run the app, you need an RTL-SDR USB dongle with an RTL2832U chip. Additionally, Node.js and librtlsdr must be installed on your system. AirplaneJS can be easily executed using the npx command, or you can install it globally via npm. The app offers various options for customization and provides a default browser interface at http://localhost:3000. AirplaneJS is released under the MIT license.
