@calestous @Rich_893 @TheEconomist Cirrus does. It's generally cost prohibitive though. Also stall recovery training should take care of it.
@Furrdue @calestous @TheEconomist -my sister's boyfriend had a plane that could glide a long way to a landing if the engines cut out.
@Rich_893 @calestous @TheEconomist All planes can easily glide. Often poor stall recovery or poor situational awareness causes the problems
@Furrdue -it's seems that computers could make stall recovery more certain more automatic?
@Rich_893 Yeah most airliners have stick pushers/shakers. However those add cost/complexity for GA. Stall recovery is taught from the start.
@Furrdue-I've known more people who have died in private plane accidents than car accidents and none in commercial plane accidents.
@calestous -with modern computers deployment could be done only in the right and safe conditions. Not a new idea.
