“The Los Angeles Times reports that American Airlines and Alaska Airlines are using new software from Massachusetts-based firm WSI that transmits weather data from planes in the air to analysts on the ground, with the hope that the new information can help pilots prepare for or avoid the bumps, while also saving airlines the costly expenses tied to passenger injuries and plane damage.
The new system works by using software and sensors that relay information as a plane experiences turbulence and transmits it to other airlines.”
