      It's not the aircraft that matters...

      ...it's the fuel.

      Show me that a product can withstand the hellish inferno of a crashed plane, and I will be impressed. Protection from mere impact is something we have been able to do for a while now.

      Preventing that same item from melting/overheating/etc...that's a whole other ball game.

    Which'll work really well after the local authorities have locked the cell system into "emergency services only" mode while they deal with the disaster in question.

    Even if that doesn't happen, the fact that everyone within a 20 mile radius will be trying to phone world + dog should make getting a data connection rather fun.

    No MEA?

    Is that because they're afraid of Real World testing, or because cell coverage there is somewhat spotty? Inquiring minds want to know.

    More reliable than...

    the Google cloud, or say, your average super-collider?
