> simulated what would happen if gamma rays ... So now I am curious. How do other airliners (newer Boeings, Airbus, etc) fare when subjected to the gamma ray

  The article could have used the industry term, Single-Event Upset, rather than use the more eye catching gamma ray term over and over. It's a failure mode that aircraft and spacecraft have to deal with. You keep CRCs of data in critical areas of memory and constantly check them to make sure you are only processing valid data, or use equivalent of ECC memory.
