Remember the brand new boeings with the retarded autopilot landing feature that couldn’t be disengaged a few years back? After 2 multifatality incidents, they briefly recalled them… i think one was in africa.
It's really a general thing with the control systems on modern aircraft. You see the details of the complexity of any aspect and think, "This cannot possibly be the best way to design this, no way, not after this many decades." Oh, and they're all different brand to brand and airframe to airframe. Pure insanity.
It's really seeing how the sausage is made. Best not to know!
I see this in cars all the time now.
Fuck these twist knobs and window switches instead of gear shifts! It’s lunacy, cars have power failures and electrical system problems all the time…wtf
Since it’s usually coupled with keyless electric start—
It’s a deathtrap. Just think of all the toyotas that had accelerator sticking issues a few years back —
Now there’s NO way to shift into neutral or turn the key off/kill the engine if your car chimps out.
