Resumen de Crippled but not crashed.
The article discusses how neural networks can help pilots land damaged planes. Some innovative engineers wondered if they could program flight computers to make it easier for a crew to safely land a heavily damaged aircraft. This research has been gradually progressing over the past 15 years up to 2004, and the technology could be incorporated into commercial and military planes in the not too distant future. Frank W. Burcham Junior, former chief propulsion engineer at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Dryden Flight Research Center in California, began an effort to develop software that would enable jet engines to compensate for damage to a plane's control surfaces.
