Zusammenfassung:Devices, systems, and methods for providing software to aircraft (130) using a distributed ledger are disclosed. A software delivery system (100) includes aircraft (130) having an engine controller (136) configured to verify and install software utilized by components of the aircraft (130), an electronic distribution system (124) coupled to the aircraft (130), an edge manager (170) coupled to the electronic distribution system (124), and computing devices (182) acting as nodes in a distributed ledger base (180) maintaining a distributed ledger. The electronic distribution system (124) verifies a request for software, requests software, and initiates an installation protocol with the engine controller (136). The edge manager (170) maintains software. The distributed ledger base (180) is coupled to the aircraft (130), the electronic distribution system (124), and the edge manager (170). The distributed ledger provides a record including information pertaining to a request for software, verifications of the request by the electronic distribution system (124), the edge manager (170), and the engine controller (136), and an installation of the software.
