Anyone know right off hand what the symptoms would be if a plane were targeted by a directional EMP weapon?

Give it a rest. If directional EMP weapons can rip planes apart, the US wouldn't be using missiles anymore. Why would backwater terrorists have snazzier technology that we do? Come on!

Do I look like an expert in directional EMP weapons? Why do you think I flagged intelligent people who were on the EMP thread to answer my questions? And did you notice your name was not on that ping list, jlogajan?

You were on one of the other EMP threads that I didn't link here, but I still didn't flag you. That's because in my three years here, I've come to associate the word "jlogajan" with the word "idiot." You are certainly free to do the same with my name. :)

Now, go away. I determined long ago that you're nothing but a loser who gets his jollies by denigrating others. Judging from your reply to me and to someone else in #27, you've certainly reinforced that opinion once again.

The EMP, if used as a weapon does not destroy as in an explosion or impact. The effect of the EMP results is a disruption of the electrical system, effectively disabling the controls as well as communications. Although the control systems are hydraulic, the hydraulic controls are servo fed and controlled devices that require electrical signals to tell it what to do.

It might be advisable for you to get all of your rocks gathered up before you start throwing them. :-)
