Kent Dial
Kent Dial is the Founder and CEO of Wingware, the company behind Jet Fuel QC®, the first digital quality control platform purpose-built for aviation fueling operations.
A United States Air Force veteran with deep roots in aviation, Kent saw firsthand how critical fueling inspections, safety checks, and asset records were still being managed through paper forms, spreadsheets, and fragmented systems. In an industry where precision and compliance are non-negotiable, that gap represented risk.
In 2014, he founded Wingware to close the gap and reduce risk. Under Kent’s leadership, Wingware developed Jet Fuel QC®, a patented platform that digitizes and standardizes fuel quality control, safety observations, preventative maintenance, and inspection workflows across commercial and general aviation operations. What began as a solution to eliminate paper logs has evolved into a connected operational ecosystem that brings quality, safety, dispatch, inventory, and maintenance data into one unified view.
“For decades, aviation fueling has operated in reaction mode. The next era is anticipation. When your data is connected, your teams stop chasing problems and start preventing them. That shift changes everything.”
Today, Jet Fuel QC® supports hundreds of fueling operations across North America and the Caribbean. Teams rely on it daily to improve accountability, reduce audit preparation time, strengthen visibility across multi-site operations, and elevate the professionalism of their field workflows. Customers describe it as “second nature” and, in many cases, a competitive differentiator.
Kent’s focus extends beyond software. He advocates for a more integrated future in fueling operations, where real-time visibility replaces delayed discovery and where leadership decisions are informed by shared operational truth. His work centers on transforming fragmented systems into connected intelligence, giving operators the clarity and control required to meet modern safety, compliance, and performance standards.
He continues to guide Wingware’s evolution with a commitment to practical innovation, field-tested usability, and measurable operational impact.
We are proud to have developed and deployed Jet Fuel QC®, a patented system that automates and streamlines the quality control process of jet fuel at airports. Jet Fuel QC® has been recognized as a game-changer in the field, and has been serving more than 150 airports in North America since 2016. We are also working on other exciting projects and partnerships that are not yet announced, but coming soon.
