Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for providing software to aircraft using a distributed ledger are disclosed. A software delivery system includes aircraft having an engine control system configured to verify and install software utilized by components of the aircraft, an electronic distribution system coupled to the aircraft, an edge manager coupled to the electronic distribution system, and computing devices acting as nodes in a distributed ledger base maintaining a distributed ledger. The electronic distribution system verifies a request for software, requests software, and initiates an installation protocol with the engine control system. The edge manager maintains software. The distributed ledger base is coupled to the aircraft, the electronic distribution system, and the edge manager.

Abstract: A method for handling a simultaneous failure of all channels of a multi-channel engine controller configured to control operation of a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a first processor associated with a first channel of the engine controller, data indicative of the simultaneous failure of all channels of the engine controller. The method further includes providing, by the first processor, one or more control signals associated with resetting at least a second processor associated with a second channel of the multi-channel engine controller based, at least in part, on the data. Furthermore, the method includes controlling, by the first processor, operation of the gas turbine engine while at least the second processor is resetting.
