Airbus redesigns A350 cockpit center console
Airbus has officially overhauled its A350 cockpit control panel, following earlier reports of engine failure caused by the aircrew’s spilt beverages. (www.thedrive.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sounds like an old movie to me.
It is a movie. 1964, "Fate is the Hunter". Surprisingly good, though haven't seen it in a long time...
That was my immediate thought too, Tim. My persona is quite a bit like the movie's Captain. I never let my wife watch it. I'm not sure she even knows the movie exists. Better that way.
This is why, when I'm making any major purchase, cup holders are my primary consideration.
Well, at least they are trying to make some corrective action(s) to reduce risk, and that in my view, regardless of how silly and scary a spilled drink could bring down the plane, is better thing than just saying SOL. Maybe they put some desiccant bags under the panel as well....
So now we know Airbus planes don't like Water/liquids being spilled :D (Like the A220 problem)
But come on, It's common sense, I don't put coffee/tea cup on/near my servers/keyboards/switches/routers in my datacenter, heck, beverages are even forbidden, I have to leave the room if I want to drink something.
