Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a system, apparatus, and method for streaming compression of periodic binary data. A data transmitter of an aircraft can receive flight data from a flight data acquisition unit. The data transmitter can store the flight data. The data transmitter can compare words corresponding to a first data frame to words corresponding to a second data frame. The data transmitter can identify a word block of consecutive unchanged words, consecutive changed words, or one changed word and one unchanged word. The data transmitter can generate and transmit a header identifying a number of consecutive unchanged words in a word block. The data transmitter can generate a header identifying a number of consecutive changed words in a word block and transmit the header and the word block. The data transmitter can generate a header identifying two words in a word block and transmit the header and the word block.
