The Wolfram Flight Information Reference App Launches On iOS

Less than a week after updating its search functionality to include real-time flight information about planes flying overhead, the folks at Wolfram Alpha LLC are including the technology in a new iOS app. The Wolfram Flight Information Reference App is available now for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad. Available for $1.99, the universal app could very well become the only flight tracking app iOS owners ever need going forward. The Wolfram Flight Information Reference App includes real-time data on flight arrivals and delays worldwide, plus scheduled and actual times for takeoff and landing. In addition, users can track details for each flight, including maximum altitude, cruising speed and aircraft information. Other features include:

• Find out what flights are overhead right now, at any location
• Missed your flight? Find alternative flights headed your way in the next 24 hours
• Compute fascinating statistics about flight durations, average delay times, and on-time performance for specific airlines
• Find the nearest airport from any location, and see it on a local map
• Get information about an airport, including local time, number of runways, and flights in the next 24 hours
• Compute current airport weather conditions and compare forecasts between your departure and arrival airports
• Flexible input options let you look up information by airport and airline codes and names, or by location

  The Wolfram Flight Information Reference App is powered by the Wolfram Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica---the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education. Download The Wolfram Flight Information Reference App app today in the App Store.
