Airsports Tracking

The Yellowbrick Airsports Adventure Tracker is a well-proven, self-contained fully-automatic satellite tracking device. It will accurately report its position from anywhere on Earth, including polar, ocean and desert regions. It is lightweight, waterproof and built to withstand extreme environments.

Yellowbrick improves media relations and generates public interest in remote events. Originally designed for adventure and yacht racing, we have adapted the units to be used in all airsports. Together with fantastic 3D visualisation technology from Silent Wings, the units fix their latitude/longitude and altitude every 5 seconds and transmit back every 20 seconds. This means we can visualise a race with around a 1 minute delay from real-time.

Our Yellowbrick trackers are available to rent for individual or event use. Our pricing is fully inclusive of satellite fees and access to Silent Wings Viewer for visualisation purposes.

What People Say...

"Previously gliding was a very closed sport - pilots took off, landed back after a few hours, and no-one could see the amazing race going on in the skies. Now, with Yellowbrick, it opens up the sport to the public - for the first time, we can actually SEE what's happening - it's so exciting!" - Shaun Lapworth, Glider Pilot
