Cosmic Radiation Triggers Major Aircraft Recall

In October 2025, a JetBlue plane suddenly dropped in the air. This scared passengers and hurt some people. The problem was caused by tiny bits from space hitting the plane's computer.
Airbus, the company that made the plane, had to fix over 6,000 planes after this. They needed to update the computers to make them safer from space rays. These rays can change how computers work and make planes move in ways they shouldn't.
Scientists are now trying to make plane computers stronger. They want to stop space rays from causing problems. As we use more computers in planes, it's important to keep them safe from these tiny space bits.
