Could you build this?
No A global aviation tracker relies on direct relationships and data feeds with ADS-B receiver networks, radar networks, government aviation authorities (FAA/Eurocontrol), and airline scheduling feeds.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires ingesting, deduplicating, and stitching multi-source real-time flight telemetry (ADS-B, Mode S, radar, FAA SWIM feeds, OAG/Cirium schedule databases). The backend must maintain a massive distributed stream-processing architecture (Apache Kafka, Flink) and spatial-temporal databases to process millions of concurrent position updates globally per second, needing specialized aviation domain knowledge, carrier contracts, and distributed systems engineers.
