Could you build this?
Partial The FAA registry and NTSB accident data are public and parseable, so the search UI is buildable, but the curated aircraft biographies and the cross-referencing of records require ongoing data work.
What it would actually take: Ingest and normalize the FAA registry and NTSB accident databases into a searchable store, with a lookup UI keyed by N-number. The hard part is the aircraft biographies and history, which need research, record linkage across sources, and manual or semi-automated curation. Aviation domain knowledge is needed to avoid misleading history.
