A Broad Perspective on Cloud Integrated Flight Data Recorder

Abstract

The history of air traffic, whether its about the safety or the qualitative inspection of the several sensors and interconnected mechanical parts, is well known. Hence, the efforts applied through the research and analysis of several engineers profoundly made the air traffic investigation safer and more comfortable. As a result,the flight investigation of whether the lost aircraft or the airplane’s found wreckage has become more secure and convenient than in the Past. The use of light and advanced materials, the development of excellent communication equipment, and the rapid development of the aviation sector have played a crucial role in increasing its safety and reach to the general public, and so do the several challenges associated with the aviation sector. As a result, there has been much research regarding the air traffic investigation with the help of advanced sensor and better software that can simulate and even predict the dangers provided by several parameters helping in the investigation and exploring better sides of safety. The accident can be prevented with the help of improvements provided based on accurate analysis of previous air accidents. In modern aircraft, there is a device called the Black Box which helps analyze and investigate. For example, after Malaysian flight MH370’s disappearance, the airline again felt to upgrade the black box to a new working standard of the cloud-based technology. Currently, there are many cloud storage services worldwide such as GOOGLE, APPLE, AMAZON, MICROSOFT etc. After this accident and similar previous aircraft disappearances from different parts of the world, researchers finally decided to test steaming to nearby air traffic services and storing flight data in remote cloud storage. This study attempts to compile the worldwide efforts in the cloud-integrated flight data recorder (CIFDR) field. This research primarily focuses on different ways of storing data on cloud-based technology. The different trend worldwide approaches and different means applied to test this system without hindering the associated safety of the data going through encryption and decryption. Recently there has been a proliferation of internet facilities in flight. Although it is still in its infancy phase, the flight data can be sent to remote servers by improving this technique. Many challenges in transmitting flight data in real-time need to be overcome before commercializing this technique.
