The polar regions seems a bit stretched out. Is the earth in perspective? Making the flight paths accurate!?
On my end, it runs great in Firefox but runs at 3 fps in Chrome
On mobiles, 100% probability to kill Chrome on Android.
Gorgeous but those planes are flying in space thousands of kilometers above the surface :-) A clock and animating sunlight/rotation of the earth would be fantastic.
This is beautiful, It's amazing to see how humanity goes over every part of the planet. Which flights are those few going over the north pole?? [~30fps/OSX-Chrome]
North Pole flights are North America and mid-Europe to Japan / China / Korea. Pioneered by Finnair and KLM. One of the ETOPS certification criteria for modern airliners is demonstrable navigation stability and accuracy over the Pole. Navstar GPS is not so useful there; GLONASS is better but inertial platforms still the best at those latitudes.

Remarkable! Where is the flight data from?
Interesting, on a desktop browser. On mobiles, 100% probability to kill Chrome on Android.
I did (both Safari and Chrome, iPhone 6), the framerate is definitely low (~10 frames per second?) but it didn't kill it so your statement might be a bit exaggerated. Framerate is a bit lower on Chrome, too.
