"Hijack-proof" airliner put on tests"Hijack-proof" airliner put on testsThe first hijack-proof airliner, able to steer itself away from tall buildings and even land by remote control if terrorists kill the pilot, has been put on tests,Fingerprint access controlthe Sunday Times reported. #xThe first tests were carried out last month using actors in planes on the ground in Bristol and Hamburg, according to the report.The systems developed by a consortium, including BAE Systems and Airbus, after Al-Qaeda's attacks on America on September 11, 2001, go far beyond the reinforced cockpit doors and sky marshals introduced as an immediate reaction to the terror strikes.The first elements of the technology will be available to airlines by mid-2008 and the full system should be installed a few years after that, the report said, adding that similar work is being done separately in America.The system is designed as a last-ditch defense if airport checks and passenger surveillance fail to prevent a hijack.Fingerprint access controlNew cockpit doors, #x in addition to being strengthened, are likely to be controlled using biometric technology which scans irises and fingerprints so only authorized crew can gain access.There will also be biometric sensors fitted to cockpit instruments so that if, as in the 9/11 attacks, a terrorist kills the pilot, the plane's controls can be overridden.Under the new system, a computer would then prevent the plane being taken off its pre-determined course and allow ground controllers, by remote control, to land the aircraft safely at a nearby airport. #xAs a last resort,google排名, if the terrorist holds a gun to the pilot's head and tries to force him to fly into a building,Fingerprint access controlan emergency avoidance system is being designed to automatically change a plane's course if it is heading for buildings or mountains.相关的主题文章:
