Smoother Skies? Boeing Files Patent To Tackle Turbulence

Turbulence is one of the most common safety events in commercial aviation, with studies showing there are tens of thousands of moderate and severe turbulence events every year. In most cases of turbulence, passenger injury does not occur, particularly if the flight crew have warned the cabin of impending turbulence. However, turbulence can sometimes strike without warning or at inopportune times, leading to serious injury for many on board.
