Nasa557 - 9/11Review

Nasa557

This page about remote control could help readers to understand how the attacks could have been accomplished without the hijackers. Unfortunately there are no links to it on the pages about hijacking, only an obscure link directly below some discrediting text on the Sept11Physics page.

The Boeing 757 and 767 are "fly-by-wire" (electronically controlled) systems. From Boeing 757-200 Background:

A fully integrated flight management computer system (FMCS) provides for automatic guidance and control of the 757-200 from immediately after takeoff to final approach and landing. Linking together digital processors controlling navigation, guidance and engine thrust, the flight management system ensures that the aircraft flies the most efficient route and flight profile for reduced fuel consumption, flight time and crew workload. The precision of global positioning satellite system (GPS) navigation, automated air traffic control functions, and advanced guidance and communications features are now available as part of the new Future Air Navigation System (FANS) flight management computer.

In fact, when NASA chose to upgrade the Transport System Research Vehicle in the mid 1990s, they chose a Boeing 757 - the same kind of airplane that is missing because it did not crash into the Pentagon!

In 1994, the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) acquired a B-757-200 as a platform for ARIES, or Airborne Research Integrated Experiments System, the aircraft is being used to conduct research to increase aircraft safety, operating efficiency and compatibility with future air trafficcontrol systems. Flight-tests using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite data to perform automated landings of the airplane. ... (ARIES includes) the ability to fully control the aircraft through any given phase of flight including take-off, landing roll-out and taxi. ... Additionally, the experimental system can provide inputs to the ship's flight control computers, thus allowing automatic flight, including coupled autolands.

The NASA 557 Boeing has logged over 266 automatic landings to date, showing that the automatic remote control of commercial aircraft is not only feasible, but commonplace; see ARIES: NASA Langley's Airborne Research Facility
