Civil Aircraft Big Data Platform

The aviation industry generates massive data every day. By analyzing the aviation big data, aviation manufacturers and airlines can optimize the flight of civil aircraft including risk reducing, operation optimization, and personalized services. Building a platform for storing and analyzing the aviation big data becomes an important task for civil aviation. This paper proposes a civil aircraft big data platform that works on facilitate the development of civil aviation. The platform collects data from multiple types of data sources, including aircrafts, airlines, and maintenance centers. The platform provides decision making support for civil aircrafts including maintenance plan, real-time alarm, health management, fuel saving, and airline schedule. The paper introduces the architecture of the platform and present applications to show how the platform facilitates civil aviation.
