Airbus A320 Software Recall: How Airlines Raced to Fix a Solar‑Radiation Glitch and Averted Global Travel Chaos

Airlines around the world have spent the last 48 hours racing to patch a critical software vulnerability on thousands of Airbus A320‑family jets after regulators warned that intense solar radiation could corrupt flight‑control data. As of Sunday, November 30, most of the roughly 6,000 affected aircraft are back in service, and fears of a full‑blown holiday travel meltdown have largely eased. Airbus+1 The emergency recall was triggered by an October 30 incident in which a JetBlue A320 flying from Cancún to Newark suddenly pitched down without pilot command, injuring passengers and forcing an emergency diversion to Tampa.

Structural Battery Composites: The Game-Changing Tech Turning Vehicles into Batteries

Structural Battery Composites: A Deep Dive What Are Structural Battery Composites (SBCs) and How Do They Work? In a nutshell, Structural Battery Composites are materials that function as both the skeleton and the battery of a device. Traditional batteries are standalone units – think of the heavy lithium-ion pack bolted into an electric car’s floor. That pack provides energy but adds dead weight and usually needs its own casing for protection. SBCs flip this concept: the energy storage is built into the device’s structure itself, so the material that carries load (like a car frame, body panel, or drone wing)
