Would be helpful to see if it's a glider, powered aircraft or helicopter in SD with some different icons
This are the official FLARM Aircraft Type from the protocol PFLAA <AcftType> 

0 = unknown
1 = glider / motor-glider
2 = tow / tug plane
3 = helicopter / rotorcraft
4 = parachute
5 = drop plane for parachutes
6 = hang-glider (hard)
7 = para-glider (soft)
8 = powered aircraft
9 = jet aircraft
10 = flying saucer (UFO)
11 = balloon
12 = airship
13 = unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
15 = static object

Most Flarm devices do not actually send that data correctly, so we do not use it. We did discuss this with Flarm once.
