I'm sure treez will be along any moment now to discuss how this effects the British electronics industry.

Have you not heard the admonition "Do not tempt fate."?

Yeah, let's discuss how America effects their own electronics industry and its products
Boeing, Lockheed Martin, ...

[Cerebus]

That's not what I meant and I think we all know that. [Fx: Looks nervously over his shoulder, Macbeth-like, to see if Borehamwood is moving towards Dunstable. ]

I wasn't really expecting the only reactions to this topic would be to talk about treez, but what do we know. =)

Not surprising it is often the case that the electronics have bugs early on with military aircraft civil one for that matter not so long ago that boing had problems with self crashing planes. The panavia tornado had a concrete block instead of radar for a while when the RAF first took delivery, the joke amongst the airmen of the time was something about   ramming the enemy.

Airbus had one aircraft land a few months ago, where the weight on wheels switch plus a fault in the communications cycle between the CPUs  tripped a crash of ALL THREE flight computers  that disabled reverse thrust, failed to deploy the  spoilers  and reverted to manual braking as well as causing some other interesting systems effects. By the time that the pilots determined "Otto" was having a bad day, manual braking stopped them just before going into the overrun on a very short runway.

.  Applying  full brake on an airliner at the last minute
Can have interesting effects including tire fires,  brake disk fires, tire deflation due to fusible plugs etc.

Thumbs up for the pilot for doing the landing safely, and not just bailing out.
Stuff up happens with military aircraft, hobby aircraft and commercial aircraft all the time. It doesn't have to be anyone's fault, it just happens.

[SiliconWizard]

Yes thumbs up for the pilot, sure thing.

Otherwise, if I get it right, nothing to see here? It just happens. Fair enough, I guess.

Maybe he had all the ties he needed and didn't want a new one?

Yeah, I guess it's like when a EV is on fire. You have hundreds of BMWs burn to the ground for every EV, even if you normalize it with sales, but it's going to the news because it is new.

Reminds me of the "A software tester walks into a bar..." joke. Reality always creates the most catastrophic edge cases.
