AirChain - Towards Blockchain-based Aircraft Maintenance Record System

Civil aviation (aircraft) is one of the public transportation industries that requires the highest safety standards. However, several accidents on aircraft maintenance system had revealed that there is a need to secure the record integrity and traceability. Motivated by this issue and supported by an airline, in this work, we design and implement AirChain, a blockchain-based aircraft maintenance record system, in which the data can be stored in a way that is both resistant to tampering and easy to access. The experimental results indicate the viability and practicability of our system.
