Original Abstract Submitted

a method and apparatus for providing distributed fleet communications between aircraft including decentralized location tracking, weather data, and fleet health is used to determine actual aircraft position, better weather data from multiple sources, and health data to help with logistical calculations and increase efficiencies. the communication is a distributed communication network using blockchains wherein the block includes a data, a hash and a prior hash, determining, by a processor, a validity of the block in response to a blockchain register stored on a memory, the hash and the prior hash, determining, by the processor. the processor is configured to generate a record to be added to the local copy of the blockchain ledger stored in the memory, then send an update to the fleet blockchain to be added as a valid record to be stored and used by the fleet or other trusted individual operators.
