Opinion: How To Prevent More Death From GPS Interference

Around 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 25, Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 was approaching its planned destination of Grozny, Russia. Suddenly, the aircraft's ADS-B safety system, which uses GPS data, stopped transmitting its identification and location. When the signal returned, it showed the aircraft flying erratically and headed for the airport at Aktau, Kazakhstan, almost 300 mi. away, where it crashed on landing.

Western investigators and the president of Azerbaijan have concluded that the airplane was damaged by Russian air defenses. The Russians had been jamming GPS in the area for weeks to counter Ukrainian drone attacks. This undoubtedly prevented them from properly identifying the Azerbaijan flight, leading them to open fire.

While this may be the first instance of civilian deaths directly attributable to GPS interference, warning signs have been around for years.

Expansive 32-propeller airship looks to return hydrogen to the skies

Imagine a massive high-tech helium balloon that stretches well over an NFL football field in length, has more cargo capacity than an Airbus Beluga XL, and produces multi megawatts of power for nearly three dozen propellers. That's definitely a flying whale. And it's actually years in the making, as French startup Flying Whales has been fleshing out the concept for over a decade. Hopes are that this mind-blowing vessel will someday transform cargo transport by connecting population centers with remote, virtually inaccessible parts of the world, moving important goods and materials without touching the ground.
