Two million flights pass through New York's airspace each year. Artist Aaron Koblin used images from his piece,Flight Patterns, to create a Google map representing air traffic across the United States over a 24-hour period. The map displays the flight paths for more than 205,000 aircraft the FAA tracked on August 12, 2008.

Using data provided by FlightView, a service that provides real-time air-travel information, Koblin layers flight patterns by altitude, aircraft model and manufacturer. Use the navigation on the right to toggle between each view.

Altitude: Dark colors indicate a higher altitude; lighter shades indicate takeoff and landing. 
Aircraft model: Each of the 573 airplanes are represented by a unique color.
Manufacturer: Flight frequency is tracked by aircraft manufacturer.

This project was a collaboration among Aaron Koblin, FlightView and Wired Magazine.
