Revelation that the crash of German-wings Airbus A320 might have been a deliberate act of a suicidal pilot prompted airlines and authorities in Canada, the UK and Norway to opt for a seemingly easy solution: Insist on two crew members in the cockpit at all times. For years, however, leading aircraft makers have researched technologies that possibly could have saved the 150 lives lost in the Germanwings crash without anyone in the cockpit at all. Here, Song details why the flying public, regulators and academics are pondering safety improvements following the deaths of 150 passengers and crew at the hands of an apparently suicidal pilot.
