- Stevvo 7y agoThey mentioned it can be retrofitted in older aircraft. So it might be an option in the future if you are doing $100k panel upgrade in your 1950s tin can airplane.
- tialaramex 7y agoAs the plane gets older and less sophisticated it gets harder to put all the pieces of the puzzle together without ripping the whole aircraft to pieces and starting over. Even after touching down, the aircraft this is built for have computer control for the brakes and full rudder authority, so it can do a pretty good approximation of a proper short field landing based on GPS and wheel speed sensors. Do you want to add computer controlled brakes and wheel speed sensors to your tin can? No? Then we have to assume the plan is to just roll to a halt and that cuts our list of viable landing sites and hurts survivability considerably.
