This short animation represents the result of a diploma work of an engineer student at a university in Zurich. It represents all of one day's global commercial flight movements, basing on data from February 6th, 2008. The day is compressed into 72 seconds. They found out that at any given point of time in a day, around 10.000 aircraft are in mid-air around all the globe. They now try to convert the software creating the animation from the raw data so that it can be used for traffic jam prevention and control of road traffic.

TCAS anyone?
