You probably didn’t know this, but U.S. air traffic control still runs on floppy disks, Windows 95 and paper strips yes the system keeping thousands of planes from crashing is stuck in the '90s. And that’s exactly why it’s such a goldmine. Imagine creating a modern, digital air traffic control system with real-time tracking AI-based routing, sleek touchscreens and secure cloud infrastructure. The FAA is already spending billions just to keep their dinosaur of a system alive and has earmarked $40 billion and more to upgrade and modernize everything
Of course it's not all smooth sailing. The FAA moves slowly since you can’t beta test stuff when lives are at stake or You can't stop air traffic to roll out new code so it has to happen seamlessly. Everything has to be insanely reliable and safe. Plus, cybersecurity is a huge concern. You can’t hack papers and floppy disks but can hack modern systems so they need serious protection and digitak armour. Alsl legacy code is a total nightmare to work with.
But that’s also why there's 0 competition and is what makes it such a rare opportunity. If you can build something modular, safe, and compatible with old systems and deploy it without interrupting operations you’re looking at locked-in government contracts for decades. Once you're in you're set. Literally billionaire overnight
This isn’t just another SaaS app that will be obsolete in 2 years. Not another dime a dozen trend chasing startup idea not another TikTok-for-dogs startup but the foundational infrastructure for the next generation of aviation. You will be modernizing global aviation with this project. Slow, complex, but insanely rewarding. Whoever pulls it off first could be building the next billion-dollar infrastructure of the skies.
