[2018-12-28]Blockchain Technology to be Used in Aviation Industry for Storing Da

[Vladdirescu87]

A Singaporean company is trying to find a permanent solution for locating data after a plane has crashed. This comes after flMH370 went missing. Flight MH370 carrying 239 people on board was reportedly coming from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on Saturday March 8, 2014. There is no available data about what really occurred since the information was kept on the plane in a device called the black box.

Among the available solution to the missing data challenge is to transmit data to the ground in order to create a backup, though several pilots are not supporting this effort. A Singapore-based firm has discovered a significant solution which is supported by pilots and will also meet the interests of the aviation field.

There's nothing revolutionary about streaming the flight data, this idea isn't new and it in fact has been implemented a long time ago - read more details here: https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/egyptair-crash/some-airlines-stream-black-box-data-cost-keeps-others-offline-n580966

The coinidol article and their source both do poor job describing how blockchain is better than traditional communication.

The use of blockchain technology crosses all boundaries eg chain supplies, medicine, sport and transportation etc now aviation when fully utilized it could prevent accidents and ensure a swift response and recovery operations in an event of any accident and possibly recover the missing MH370 airplane that dissappeared which is a welcome development in that sector.

Exactly, we all know that a lot of crypto related websites didn't do any verification whatsoever, just published something for revenue purposes only. Anyways, I guess its really boils down as what is going to be the most cost effective for airline companies. Will the so-called blockchain technology implementation will help be to be efficient, effective and practical vs the traditional streamlining data which cost $100,000 per plane (as per the article).

Whatever happens they will still need to go online to transmit the data whether it is via traditional methods or on the blockchain. As long as it can transmit then storing it there is better than an impossible to find black box
