The plane “green” does not go, catastrophic bug in the software of the Boeing 787 – Imola Today

New potentially catastrophic problems for the futuristic Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) American, reports CNN, issued an order to change the procedures for maintenance of the jet after it has determined that the plane, to a bug in the software, can ‘be the the total, sudden and irremediable blackout of all electrical systems if the generators are kept in operation continuously for 248 days following. If you exceed this limit, the software shuts off the power (as a life-saver of domestic systems) interpreting the continuous activity ‘of generators as dangerous anomaly, without taking into account the lethal consequences. An event that if it were to occur in flight pilots would lose control of the aircraft.

Boeing has said that they are aware of the problem and that he had ordered from time to cycle power generators after every flight. Not only. Is also working to find a solution to the software.
This is’ still the last grain in time for the 787 whose life and ‘been marked by delays and problems.
Renamed the’ plane “plastic” for its composite and super-light, by ‘in service in 2011 but already’ in 2013 revealed a serious failure in the system battery that overheated, and that led the authorities’ to put US ground for a few months.

The technical revolution of the Dreamliner would, among other things, the possibility of feed the eromobile with a mixture of kerosene and biofuels and the massive use of carbon fiber for the construction of the supporting structure of the fuselage, which allows it to be very light and to consume, therefore, less fuel . From here interest ‘environmentalist’ scheduled airlines at the component, given that the incidence of the cost of fuel has increased enormously in recent years.

Also of importance the reduction of emissions of the CO2 contained in a 20% than aircraft of similar size, while the noise is reduced as much as 60% and the cost for a passenger traportare of 10%.
