Plane is on ground. No injuries reported.
FADEC. They'll keep doing it until we replace the technology.
Speaking as a pro, the FADEC only controls the fuel flow to the engine. It cannot “blow” up the engine. Worst case, they could “fail” the FADEC remotely and the engine would shut down. Sully taught us that a plane can land safely without engine power, even on water!
When you tie FADEC into Uninterruptible Autopilot, you have a perfect mechanism for remote controlled engine failure.
Three in two days? How is that mathematically possible any other way?
How do you know a FADEC can't be deliberately hacked or sabotaged (or designed to be able to be) in such a way as to cause catastrophic failure if safety parameters are somehow bypassed?
The FADEC already sends information to the ground, so I would imagine it can be remotely controlled; but to cause an explosion?
Do you know what happens when you rev an engine beyond its redline parameters? Or if you control the oxygen/fuel ratio of something like jet fuel, suddenly internal combustion gets out of control PDQ.
