This is a serious question and I would be interested to find out the answer.
FYI if the 737 lost all power, it could glide in manual reversion.
Whats wrong with considering the effect of the electromagnetic environment you are flying in?
Electromagnetic interactions form a fundamental part of the survivability of picture of todays modern aircraft.
Electronic warfare, the digital battlefield does exist.
Rainbow, A DEW or NEMP would not necessarily mean "there is unlikely to be much to come down to"
Clandestino, ok lets say its impossible for a terrorist activity to result in a NEMP or DEW, what about an accident?
IF you do not have the info or are not interested, thats fine, dont bother replying. But I do not believe in denying others to chance to expand their knowledge.
It is possible for a DEW to be directed at an aircraft. They can be designed for this purpose.
Say you were going to fly an ACJ for a head of state, wouldn't it be nice to know the effect of a DEW?
