Why Vulture?
What Vulture does that made it worth building.
All-in-one
Plan, fly, and analyse in one app
One app covers the whole day: building the task, checking the weather, recording the flight, taking it apart afterwards, and uploading the result. Nothing has to be handed between apps to get from the briefing to the debrief.
Apple ecosystem
Built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
Vulture is built for Apple devices only, which is why it can lean on them: plan on the iPad, fly with the iPhone, read your stats off the Watch, and let iCloud keep all three in step.
Weather
SkySight weather
Overlay thermal, wind, cloud and wave forecasts on the map, while planning and in flight. Afterwards, scrub the barograph to see the satellite imagery from the moment you were there.
Competition-ready
From Soaring Spot to the cockpit
Download a competition day from Soaring Spot and every flight arrives with the task already applied. Line the pilots up side by side, align their start times, and see who led and who followed. Declare the task to your FLARM, LXNAV, or Xctracer over Bluetooth.
Integrations
Works with 12+ services and devices
WeGlide, SkyLines, Soaring Spot, Charron, SkySight, AVWX, openAIP, XCSoar, Naviter, and Bluetooth loggers. Import flights, upload results, and pull down waypoints and airspace files.
Privacy-first
Your data stays yours
Nothing leaves your device unless you upload a flight yourself. Service credentials sit in the iOS Keychain on the device you entered them on. No tracking, no ads.
