Other aircraft types

Counts reflect aircraft transmitting an ADS-B position that community receivers can hear, identified by their broadcast type code. Aircraft on the ground, out of receiver range, or not transmitting a type are not counted, so this is a live floor rather than a fleet total — military aircraft in particular transmit selectively.
