Secure and Transparent Framework for Aviation Quality Data Exchange

Abstract

Abstract: The aviation industry encounters difficulties with quality and safety because of fragmented and manual data management systems. This survey examines issues related to aviation data sharing within the aviation ecosystem. Data silos, transparency gaps, and security risks are discussed, along with issues concerning traceability. Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) are reviewed as possible solutions. The review considers how these technologies enable secure, transparent, and permanent data exchange within the aviation ecosystem. Benefits include simpler regulatory compliance, improved supply chain traceability, and better trust among stakeholders. The paper also points out challenges like regulatory acceptance, interoperability, and scalability. Future research directions for a robust aviation quality data-sharing platform are outlined.
