SOPS and Screwjack,
Any of you want to start a string on B737 rudder-hardovers, exploding centre tanks, or the Egyptair 767 "suicide"? Boeing design at its best? Or what about Concorde's flimsy fuel tanks?
Don't get me wrong, I think all of the above are great aircraft and I hope they'll keep going for as long as they can, really.
In this Incident AI obviously messed up the design, yes. But try to get a slightly more open mind about aircraft design please. We all think the fact that the ECAM didn't show the fault is outrageous. But WHY didn't it? If the system only measures deflection, how does it know if the direction is correct, or doesn't it? Believe me, the designers really were not thinking "oh, it'll never happen..." It's a bit more complex than that. Sometimes the reasons why things are designed a certain way aren't immediately obvious... Any AI people out there with an answer?
