Hi Brad . I was going to shot back , something along the lines of " the Titanic " . It is an engineering marvel . But i feel it is an example of just going too far . I watch the TV show , called " May Day " . It had an episode that dealt with a Quantis Fight that had the # 2 engine blew apart . It took the Flight Deck crew close to 10 minutes to figure out what was causing all the cascading failures . !0 minutes is a long time in aviation . My impression was that the flight deck was more in line to the Space Shuttle than an Aircraft . So in my humble opinion , we can build it ....But should we ? . I'd be interested in your reply ........DGR
Hi DGR Rathborne, You do make a good point. Automation seems to be more and more common these days, especially on Airbus aircraft. 10 minutes is certainly a long time in aviation Although it can't have taken them long to work out that they aren't going to drop out of the sky. I guess with the complexity of aircraft these days, they have no option but to automate many systems. I suppose both the a350 and b787 are flying computers with wings :)
I had my share of screwups in the trucking industry years ago ... but none of that was never broadcast on the WWW for all the world to see!!
