Vulcan Desktop Radar Desktop Stand

The perfect partner for your Vulcan Radar. This custom-made adjustable folding stand is designed around the unit, lifting the display to a comfortable viewing angle so you can follow live aircraft without leaning over the desk.

Set it to different heights to match your setup, then fold it flat when you do not need it. Whether the radar sits beside you at home or on a shelf, the stand keeps the screen easy to read while you watch the sweep, the map, and the weather overlay.

About this desktop radar

Vulcan Radar is a UK-made desktop radar for people who want live aircraft and marine traffic on the desk. Tracks appear together on a 5-inch colour display, with pinch-to-zoom, a tactile range control, and a classic radar-inspired interface.

Connect Vulcan Radar to Wi-Fi, set your location and watch aircraft and AIS vessels around you in real time. Filter aircraft by civilian, military, or emergency services such as police and coastguard. There’s no monthly subscription — just switch it on and enjoy an always-on view without reaching for your phone or opening another browser tab.

Each Vulcan Radar is hand-made in Cornwall, UK, combining modern live aircraft data with the look and feel of traditional aviation equipment. It’s designed to be as much a part of your desk as it is a way to follow the aircraft flying overhead.

Vulcan Radar is intended for personal situational awareness and enjoyment only. It is not certified for navigation, air traffic control or safety-of-life use.

A setup guide is included in the box. For setup help, FAQs, warranty information or troubleshooting, visit our Support page or contact [email protected].

Bring Aviation Atmosphere to Your Desk

For aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and anyone who wants live aircraft on a display they can leave running.
