Hey Product Hunt, I built TailTrace because aircraft records become surprisingly difficult to connect once you go beyond a simple registration lookup. FAA registrations, aircraft reference records, NTSB accident data, Service Difficulty Reports, and regulatory information live in different datasets, and tail numbers can be reused over time... TailTrace resolves the aircraft identity first, then connects records supported by that identity while preserving source provenance and uncertainty. The API currently provides identity, history, and intelligence endpoints by U.S. N-number and is live through RapidAPI with a free developer tier. I’d especially like feedback from aviation developers and data engineers: what aircraft data is hardest for you to obtain, normalize, or trust?
