Navaid Vortac

The VORTAC icon represents a VHF Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) system, a type of navigation aid used in aviation. It is typically depicted as a combination of shapes, symbolizing the VORTAC's capabilities and navigation requirements.

In real-world applications, the VORTAC icon appears in aviation software, such as flight simulators, navigation systems, and aerodrome information systems. For instance, in flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane, the VORTAC icon is used to represent VORTAC navigation aids on the map view.

From a UX perspective, the VORTAC icon communicates to users that a navigation aid with VHF omnidirectional range and tactical air navigation capabilities is available, helping them understand the location and type of navigation aid.

Navaid Vortac is one of 2,547 icons in Carbon, made by IBM and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds NavaidVortacIcon to components/icons/carbon-navaid-vortac.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed NavaidVortacIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Navaid Vortac icon, or any of 2,547 Carbon icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 32 × 32 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Navaid Vortac", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. NavaidVortacIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <NavaidVortacIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Carbon, IBM and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are navigation, aviation, instrument and frequency. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Navaid Vortac in another set.

Carbon draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Navaid Vortac's siblings in it.
