I'm serious though. There are a lot of aerospace manufacturers, even small mom and pop machine shops that take orders for parts but they do comply with the paperwork regulation.
So who or what regulates who can produce?
Is the block chain also going to sit in the factory to ensure that after the initial components, that the company doesn't bait and switch to non compliance and fake the paperwork?
That's why ultimately the final arbiter here is the law, and prison. Even though the lowest level of paper trail was forged, the rest of the documentation exists and the fraudster are facing a giant world of hurt, and prison.
- junofan 3y agoUltimately there are counterfeit parts installed in planes that fly passengers. The goal should be to keep counterfeit parts out of the plane. United installed counterfeit parts because their supplier handed them a document claiming the parts were from GE. GE disavowed the parts much later. Clearly a focus on law and prison didn’t work in this case to keep these parts out of the plane. Maybe another system of attestation would do a better job.
