Secondo i ricercatori, tempeste solari estreme potrebbero esporre passeggeri e personale di volo a livelli pericolosi di radiazioni e provocare guasti elettronici come quelli che l’anno scorso hanno tenuto a terra 6.000 aerei Airbus.

Researchers at the Surrey Space Centre (SCC) found that extreme space weather events can significantly increase radiation exposure at typical flight altitudes of 8–14 km (5–9…

Extreme solar storms could expose airline passengers and crew to dangerous radiation levels and trigger the kind of aircraft electronics failures that grounded 6,000 Airbus jets…
