In an industry where precision and compliance are non-negotiable, that gap represented risk.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>In 2014, he founded Wingware to close the gap and reduce risk. Under Kent\u2019s leadership, Wingware developed Jet Fuel QC<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58f7393 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"58f7393\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1deb5ce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1deb5ce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e37faa0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e37faa0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor decades, aviation fueling has operated in reaction mode.
