Chaps, what if we're looking at this the wrong way?
The media (Terrible source, I know
)has reported both a "Surge in power" and also a "Power Surge". We all seem to be assuming they are referring to the same event. But what if they aren't? What if the "Power Surge" is referring to a genuine electrical spike of some kind?
Does anyone have any input as to how the systems on the Airbus (OR Boeing for that matter) tolerate such a power spike, or what happens if they
don't tolerate it?
Obviously everything is designed to withstand a lightning strike so something has gone terribly wrong in that case, but it has anyway, hasn't it?
Just a thought...
