# 3D Aircraft Models
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Aeris uses 14 distinct 3D aircraft silhouettes to represent different aircraft types on the globe. Models are assigned based on ICAO type code (when available) or ADS-B emitter category.
|
||
|
||
Two iconic aircraft types — the **Airbus A380** and **Boeing 737** — have dedicated models for visual distinction. All other aircraft are mapped to generic silhouette categories.
|
||
|
||

| **All GLB files** | 3,971.3 KB (3.88 MB) |
|
||
|
||
## Optimization Pipeline
|
||
|
||
All models are optimized for web delivery using `@gltf-transform/cli`:
|
||
|
||
1. **Texture stripping** — Materials set to neutral unlit gray
|
||
2. **Mesh simplification** — Triangle count reduced to ~30% of original
|
||
3. **B737 format conversion** — Converted from glTF 1.0 → 2.0 via `gltf-pipeline`
|
||
|
||
> Note: Draco compression is **not** used for these models, to avoid
|
||
> introducing an external WASM decoder dependency.
|
||
> See `public/models/aircraft/NOTICE.md` for details.

## Model Assignment
|
||
|
||
### Priority: TypeCode → Category
|
||
|
||
When an aircraft's ICAO type code is available (from readsb providers), it takes priority over the generic ADS-B category mapping.
|
||
|
||
**Dedicated model types:**
|
||
|
||
| Aircraft Type | TypeCode Pattern | Model Key |
|
||
| ---------------- | --------------------- | --------- |
|
||
| Airbus A380 | `A38x` | `a380` |
|
||
| Boeing 737 (all) | `B73x`, `B37M`–`B39M` | `b737` |
|
||
|
||
**Category-based fallback (DO-260B):**
|
||
|
||
| ADS-B Category | Weight Class | Model Key |
|
||
| -------------- | ---------------------- | --------------- |
|
||
| 2 | Light (<15,500 lbs) | `light-prop` |
|
||
| 3 | Small (15,500–75,000) | `narrowbody` |
|
||
| 4 | Large (75,000–300,000) | `narrowbody` |
|
||
| 5 | High vortex (B757) | `narrowbody` |
|
||
| 6 | Heavy (>300,000 lbs) | `widebody-2eng` |
|
||
| 7 | High performance | `fighter` |
|
||
| 8 | Rotorcraft | `helicopter` |
|
||
| 9 | Glider/sailplane | `glider` |
|
||
| 12 | Ultralight | `light-prop` |
|
||
| 14 | UAV | `drone` |
|
||
| Other | Unknown | `generic` |
|
||
|
||
## Performance
|
||
|
||
- Models are **lazy-loaded**: only fetched when an aircraft of that type first appears in data
|
||
- The 6 most common model types are **prefetched** via `<link rel="prefetch">` on page load
|
||
- Empty ScenegraphLayers are kept alive with stable empty arrays to avoid shader recompilation
|
||
- deck.gl caches models by URL, so the `a380` key (which maps to `widebody-4eng.glb`) shares the cache entry
|
||
|
||
## Licensing
|
||
|
||
All models are licensed under **GPL v2**, compatible with the project's AGPL v3 license.
