Abstract :
Examines how engineers can work to solve major aircraft disasters, focusing on missing flight MH370. It is not yet known what has really happened to the missing flight MH370; the plane could not be located from radar signals. Its last hourly ping signals to the Inmarsat satellite suggested that the flight headed toward the southern Indian Ocean, which was speculated from the Doppler effect of drifting frequency caused by the signal source moving at high speed.
