Air Navigation was initially developed as a real-time navigation application for iOS. It was quickly adopted by pilots of various flying vehicles including para-gliders, gliders, ultralight, single and multiengine airplanes, helicopters and even hot-air balloons.

We decided to continue improving the app and develop it for other operative systems, such as Android and MAC OS X.
