New Autopilot System Could Help to Prevent Another 9/11

After the tragedies that happened on 9/11, many steps have been taken to beef up the security at airports and on commercial airliners. The scientists at Boeing are doing their part by developing a new Uninterruptible Autopilot System (UAS) which would prevent the takeover of an aircraft’s controls in the event of a terrorist takeover.

This is one of the coolest stories I’ve read in a while. Essentially, the UAS will be activated if brute force entry to the cockpit is detected. At that point, it cannot be deactivated by anyone on board and must be further controlled by ground controllers.
