The Aitoff projection is a modified azimuthal
map projection first proposed by David A. Aitoff in 1889. Based on the equatorial form of the
azimuthal equidistant projection, Aitoff halved longitudes from the central
meridian, projected by the azimuthal equidistant, and then stretched the result horizontally into a 2:1 ellipse.Map:
