Why is this a manual process? Is our technology not sufficient to build a plane that can detect when it has too much weight on board for a safe flight?

- icegreentea 10y agoNo, its just too expensive, and probably too heavy. If OP is right (pretty sure he is), he said that by using something completely free (average weight), we were able to achieve like 50+ years of safe operation of largish commercial airliners. That's amazing. Also, the problem isn't too much weight per se, it's weight distribution.
