Boeing should be asked:
“In what country was the software in question developed?”
They’ll never answer. Care to guess?
bigbob— caught another bit of commentary that was purportedly factual.... that a device called a QRS-1 is on all aircraft that directs the satellite connection of the onboard entertainment functions to be in continuous contact with the appropriate satellite.
Said device, the QRS-1 (or is it QRS-11) device was patented by the Rose Law Firm Patent Attorney, Hillary R. Clinton.
Question raised was— could an aircraft’s navigation and flight controls be directed by an intentional application of this same device— ie. hinting at electronic hi jacking.
It may have been paranoid— the device is quite old (if in fact the patent holder is true), and maybe the whole post was fabricated. Will check this.
China
When looking up the QRS-11 there are some crazed websites— one called abeldanger... .that refer to the Rose Law Firm, and
BEI Technologies for a quartz resistance sensor. Can’t make heads or tails of the reality of this
patent held quartz sensor that pdf file of it says has application in aircraft controls, missile technology- guidance etc.
So— don’t know- sorry for the wandering and wondering. The websites are really screwy. the PDF file for the BEI technology data sheet are not. This might refer back to when the clintons gave china satellite tracking ability— given to them by a major donor Schwartz guy with Loral. That DID happen and as usual, for money.
