Analysis and Future Challenge of Blockchain in Civil Aviation Application

Abstract

With the extensive application and reform of Blockchain technology in the fields of finance and supply chain, the further development of Blockchain technology has increasingly attracted great interest of air transport industry. The Blockchain technology is gradually and deeply integrated with cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging information technologies to create ecosystem-level application of emerging technologies for civil aviation. In this paper, the Blockchain technology and its relationship with other emerging technologies are combed in detail. Then, the applicability of Blockchain technology to civil aviation is briefly analyzed. Finally, the challenges and future development direction of the Blockchain technology applied in the field of civil aviation are summarized and discussed.
