I’ve only recently started following the air industry more closely, but isn’t it ironic that Boeing, the one on the “direct control” side vs computerized systems from AirBus, is the one now suffering from software and automation failures?
I wonder if it might be a consequence of being a late adopter, and rushing the development of systems they never had before.
- ulfw 7y agoThe only reason Boeing is in the “direct control” business is because their best seller is from the 1960s and they don’t dare touch it. Their newer wide bodies 777 and 787 are fly-by-wire and in the latter case even fully electric to a fault.
