Hey Lu,
that's the words you are famous.
"Unless they have four separate and independent electrical systems with inter lane-switching capability they will never reach 10-9 mean time between catastrophic failure. If they did have these systems they could reach 10-9 but only on paper. "

Due to the computercontrolled handling and flightcharacteristics it should be possible (with the right software) to "inflightsimulate" uncle franks crafts in experimental mode and to go through the barriers without danger. Just flip the "Red" switch and it's the normal EC135. Really impressive imagination
But it would be difficult to copy the T-bar stick. Could be restricted by copyright ...
