A plane could weigh a lot less if we removed all the computers and sensors that it carries. However, as logical beings we make the trade off because speed isn’t as important as safety.
- romwell 7y agoGreat example! An airplane only carries the stuff that it actually needs. Aerobus A380 carries 300 miles of wires in its body. You can be absolutely sure that a Cessna 152 does not. Putting all of A380's wires in a Cessna 152 is not a trade-off, it's insanity.
