In the wake of a foiled terrorism plot targeting aircraft departing from Great Britain, European researchers are pushing hard to create a non-hijackable plane. The security program could combat on-board threats by 2008. The non-hijackable plane would feature technology designed to serve as a last barrier to attacks on planes in flight. The vessel would include computer systems designed to spot suspicious passenger behavior and a collision avoidance system that would adjust the plane’s trajectory to prevent it from being diverted from its course.
