Abstract

<b>Did digital guardians betray their creators?</b> When Air India 171 plummeted from clear skies, all eyes turned to the Ram Air Turbine – a last-resort propeller deployed in sheer desperation. This forensic analysis reveals the unthinkable: evidence points to the aircraft’s own FADEC control systems as the catalyst for dual engine shutdown. Explore the paradox of automation, the deadly cost of "impossible" failures, and the urgent reforms needed to prevent code from becoming a catastrophe.
