What If?Safety Myths

What if the flight computer crashes?

Short answer: There are three of them, and they vote.

Flight computers use 'Triple Dissimilar Redundancy.' If one makes a mistake, the other two overrule it and lock it out. The plane flies perfectly on the remaining computers, which are often made by different companies.
