U.S. safety officials are ordering the replacement of Airbus airspeed sensors of the kind in the and all 228 people aboard in June.The Federal Aviation Administration said in a notice published in the Federal Register that U.S. airlines operating Airbus A330s and A340s must replace within 120 days at least two of three sensors made by European electronics giant Thales Corp. on each plane. The approved replacements are made by North Carolina-based

When that happens, it can lead to a loss of airspeed information or inaccurate information.Northwest and US Airways had already replaced their older Thales Pitot tubes with newer model tubes, but are now in the process of replacing those tubes with Goodrich tubes. While a car s speedometer uses tire rotation to calculate speed, an airplane uses Pitot tubes to measure changing air pressure. Computers interpret that information as speed. And while a car with a broken speedometer might be little more than an inconvenience, many airplane control systems rely on accurate speed information to work properly.In Airbus planes, which are highly automated, recent incidents indicate that Hgkc Scientists finally reveal secret origin behind 1960s deep ocean mystery
Every year, Lapland erects a hotel made of ice in Jukkasj盲rvi, Sweden. And every year, when the weather turns warmer, the IceHotel melts back into where it originated: the Torne River.
