Large companies like FlightRadar24 and FlightAware may have that data but those are not publicly accessible. Also there’s no precedence in Wingbits’ Niche in seems … the industry standard seems to rely heavily on unpaid volunteers in the past.
Google once told me the total size of aviation industry values at ~$6 trillion (not directly flight‑data revenue), flight tracking data makes up about 1% of aviation operations revenue … let’s say if Wingbits could capture 10–20% of this market, it’s still translating into $6–12 billion/year. But I am not sure how DePIN TAM Alignment would factor in here.

Theres a huge market. Software developers can take advantage of the data to provide to carriers, commercial and government. This is an excellent backup system for critical infrastructure. The numbers of uptime and backups with multiple antennas across the globe. The receiver information is very precise. Flight schools could use the data to track and record flight data and there are use cases for geofencing. With worldwide Coverage.
Head on over to a commercial aircraft expo and see what’s out there. This fits right in and this data can collect individual subscribers paying $30 to $100 per month for data. Commercial may pay that per aircraft.
Helicopters can be covered closer to the ground with more wingbits ground stations in multiple areas. Radar doesn’t cover that.
Wingbits should have a booth at the NBAA conference in Las Vegas this October. Or The Heliexpo conference in February. These are private and commercial aviation users, buyers and sellers. Then EBACE in Europe every May. If they do, then they’re moving in the right direction. Expos like these generate a huge amount of interest or contacts leading to solid potential for sales and expansion.
Wingbits data may have faster access and updating of data compared with other systems. Data is also cryptographically secured.
Flightaware and flightradar24 sell their data. The data they get free they sell. Its packaged.
Large corporations are looking for ways to get into depin or digital assets. Wingbits will open doors for those companies. It will start in the millions but could easily grow into the hundreds of millions with the worldwide coverage.
