Airspace Lab

STATUSPublic labCLASSProducts & experiments

A dependency-light Three.js trainer for understanding terminal airspace by orbiting, slicing, probing, and testing the volume instead of memorizing a diagram.

01

Why build it

Terminal airspace is usually taught as a stack of flat diagrams. The rules make more sense when the learner can move a probe through the actual volume and see what changes with position and altitude.

02

Interaction model

The lab combines orbit and profile cameras, altitude slicing, an aircraft probe, class comparisons, and short knowledge checks in a focused Vite application.

  • Direct manipulation instead of a passive animation.
  • Profile and plan views connect vertical and horizontal constraints.
  • Progressive controls preserve usefulness on smaller screens.
  • Minimal dependencies keep the experiment easy to inspect.
