Extreme Solar Storms Could Expose Airline Passengers to Radiation Risk
Researchers say extreme solar storms could raise radiation to nearly 10 times normal levels and trigger electronics faults that disrupt flights.

The Sun Doesn't Care About Your Flight Schedule
New research shows that extreme space weather can significantly raise radiation exposure on commercial flights and increase electronic faults in aircraft systems. A severe 1956 scale solar storm could expose passengers to a year's worth of radiation in a single flight, and the researchers point to last year's Airbus A320 grounding, triggered by a solar radiation linked flight computer fault, as proof this isn't theoretical. To address the gap, t…

Extreme solar storms could expose airline passengers to radiation risk
Extreme solar storms could expose airline passengers and crew to dangerous radiation levels and trigger the kind of aircraft electronics failures that grounded 6,000 Airbus jets last year, researchers say.
Extreme space weather events can force airlines to change routes or even completely cancel flights due to serious risks to both passenger health and aircraft onboard electronics.
Extreme space weather events can cause errors in on-board instruments that affect flight safety. Researchers have developed measures.
Extreme Space Weather Could Disrupt Flights and Expose Passengers to High Radiation, Study Warns
Extreme space weather events could force aircraft to reroute or even ground flights, according to new research led by the University of Surrey. The research, published in the Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, details the scale of radiation risks to passengers, crew and onboard systems.
