    Fly-by-wire algorithms?

    For those interested, remember some unscheduled aerobatics by Qantas in WA a few years back?

    A wild ride mid-flight on a Qantas Airbus that left a third of passengers on board injured as they were tossed out of their seats has been traced to a computer programming glitch, air investigators have found.
