Good day.
With the development of the Internet, many other areas are developing, which are closely related to the lives of millions of people. For example, 20 years ago, to imagine that anyone could see in real time on the website what and where the plane is flying - there was something on the verge of fantasy! And now, you can do it on any computer connected to the Internet!
To do this, you just need to know a few addresses on the network, on which maps of aircraft flights are presented. You can view both the flights of all aircraft and a specific one (for example, if you are waiting for the arrival of relatives and friends).
Actually, in this article I will give the best maps on which you can track all the flights of civil aircraft. So, let's begin...
Addition! Some sites below may need to update Adobe Flash Player (if you have an older version). How to do this is described in this article: //ocomp.info/ustarel-adobe-flash-player.html

Online radars: airplane flight maps

What is a radar map
One of the most popular civil aviation tracking radars. In real time you will be able to see a map on which each plane will be marked with a corresponding icon (see the screen above). The site appeared in 2006.
By clicking on any plane icon, you can find out where and where it is flying from (for example, in the screenshot below, the plane is flying from San Francisco to London), its flight schedule, trajectory, flight distance, and its landing time. In general, all the most relevant that is required by the majority.
Travel time (takeoff, landing), direction (from which city to which)
Note that for an additional fee, the service provides even more functionality. In general, I recommend!

Airliner Flight Tracking
The site's functionality is similar to the previous one. It also features a World Map, with each airliner marked with a yellow icon. By choosing one of them, you can find out its direction of movement, schedule, speed, distance traveled, etc.
In addition, the top menu allows you to search for an aircraft by its tail number (it is a 5-7 symbol designation by which you can find out who owns the aircraft: which country, carrier, etc.).
By the way, the site contains interesting statistics: you can find out the most popular airliners (the screenshot below shows that Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are the most popular aircraft today), the most popular flight destinations, etc. Very curious!

Airplane flight tracking example
A very multifunctional site, and besides, it supports the Russian language in full! This resource was created by American developers and is focused primarily on the countries of America. By the way, I would like to note that more than 15 million passengers around the world use the capabilities of this service, more than 12 thousand air operators (that is, the resource deserves trust and respect)!
I would especially like to note the informativeness of this resource: by choosing the desired flight, you can get as much information as possible on it. For example, you can find out the aircraft number, airline, its schedule, current coordinates, speed, take-off time (approximate landing time), see a photo of the aircraft, find out its previous flights, etc.
Ship info // This is only part of the data

Service main window
The resource was created by professional people from aviation, the purpose of which is: to quickly provide information on any airliner in transit. The service operates on the basis of ADS-B sensors (such sensors are installed on the overwhelming majority of commercial ships) and the FAA radar system (American development). Due to this, the service is equally good at tracking the movement of airliners, both over the territory of America and over Asia, Europe, etc.
The work with the site itself is similar to the previous ones: select a specific airliner on the map (or enter the aircraft's tail number through the search line) and see its current position online.
Note that in the service options you can change the type of map (Terrain, Sky Vector, Hybrid, etc.), brightness, etc. I would also add that this service is not as informative as the previous one. Nevertheless, he is considered one of the leaders in this topic, so I recommend to meet you!

That's all. Good luck!
