Hydralics vurnability by design.
When I read about Japan Airlines Flight 123 (Boeing 747-SR46) that crashed due
a bad repair of the rear pressure bulkhead. And the subsequent rupture of ALL hydralic pipes. It makes me wonder WHY are airplanes designed with this single-point-of-failure? Seems a lot of crashs could been avoided if the hydralics system would been intact. So why not design some kind of redudancy into the hydralics system?, just seperating the hydralic pipe route could improve safety by minimising the chance of all hydralics failing. Or even have a electrical servo backup system should hydralics fail? Bad repair - Hydralics ripped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines_Flight_123 Cargo door - Hydralics ripped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...ines_Flight_96 Engine rupture - Hydralics ripped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...nes_Flight_191 Turkish DC-10 crashed at Orly due to total loss of hydraulic power http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...15/ai_70429487 |

Please, please post their response if they respond to you. -Robert |

There IS redundancy built in Boeings. On a B727, it's called Manual
Reversion. There's also a Standby Hydraulic system for the Lower Rudder wrote in message ...
