About Vulcan Desktop Radar
Vulcan Desktop Radar is a desktop plane tracker and aeroplane radar for aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and anyone who wants a live picture of the sky nearby.
A desktop plane radar for your home or office
Vulcan Desktop Radar is a dedicated desktop plane tracker that brings live aeroplane tracking to a 5-inch colour display with classic aviation styling. Unlike phone apps or browser tabs, it is a purpose-built plane radar for your desk: tactile range control from 10 to 200 nautical miles, an illuminated power button, and a phosphor-green presentation inspired by traditional radar instruments.
Connect with USB-C power, join your Wi‑Fi on the device, set your location with a UK postcode or latitude and longitude, and nearby aeroplanes appear as live tracks. Tap a target to see callsign, airline, altitude, speed, heading, registration, and route on the side panel — useful for spotting local traffic, following arrivals and departures, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of a working radar scope.
Live plane tracking without a subscription
There is no monthly fee and no ongoing commitment. You buy the unit once and use the Vulcan Radar cloud feed for personal awareness. Free UK shipping and a 30-day returns window apply to launch orders, with a 12-month warranty on the hardware. Buy now, pay later options may also be available at checkout through partners such as Klarna and Clearpay, subject to eligibility.
Built for enthusiasts — simple on-device set-up
Set-up stays on the device: no companion PC software and no soft-AP portal. Choose your language from the multi-language UI (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Ukrainian), connect to Wi‑Fi, save your location, and you are live. Prefer classic sweep, map underlay, or another display mode — switch views and ranges as traffic moves through your airspace, or point the unit at any coordinates worldwide for a different centre of interest.
