A Team of Student Engineers Creates World’s First Blockchain Black Box for Drones

Hrvoje Milakovic
A group of engineering students from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has achieved a remarkable breakthrough by developing what appears to be the first blockchain-based black box system for drones. This innovative setup lets an autonomous drone capture key operational and sensor data straight onto a blockchain while in flight. The result is a tamper-proof, immutable log of the drone’s activities that functions much like the flight data recorders found in traditional aircraft..
