New Boeing Dreamliner 787 - i predict this plane going down like a stone... - GoFuckYourself.com

MaDalton · 04-09-2008, 05:34 PM

i have not found an english source for this yet, but i just read that the onboard entertainment can also be watched on laptops that you bring with you. just one little problem - it comes from the same server on the plane that also runs all flight controls.

so: the flight control computer does also play the movies??? and i can plug my laptop in??? WTF???

i'm not sure if thats a good idea - lol

and there are some people on GFY i wouldn't want to be on the same flight with - hehe

i bet they never think about those kinds of things. airline safety is a myth. really they have no idea what they're doing and the 40-50,000 employees basically show up everyday and just play donkey kong and an old nintendo machine all day while watching Myth Busters and eating potato chips.

not at all... i am agreeing with you. i see no reason why a company like Boeing whose very existence revolves around airline safety, would even think of these things... yet a crappy journalist and a Czech pornographer did.

i'm really impressed.

seriously.

Avionics experts here too - who would have known?

I'm pretty sure the on board flight control will be a closed-loop system

Mr Pheer · 04-09-2008, 08:35 PM

I'm amazed at how you guys know more than the engineers that design aircraft that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Just fucking amazed.

Fap · 04-09-2008, 09:07 PM

im sure they have security

Bdiddy · 04-10-2008, 01:41 AM

Going down like a stone eh? Thats why there's been over 800 orders for the plane already and it's not even cleared by the regs yet.

And as far as the server thing goes, as long as its linux it'll run just fine

Stephen McTowelie · 04-10-2008, 02:19 AM

The FAA have already told Boeing to sort out these problems this is old news as usual by poor journalists, do you honestly think no one at Boeing or the FAA have thought about the possibility of the aircraft being hacked ?
Did like the cartoon though

Oh and welcome to January
