How Scientist Shows that Using a Smartphone is Dangerous in Flight?

Why you can’t independently use your smartphone in the plane? Because it can lead toward the plane crash, as a result, all the passengers are informed that the use of mobile devices during the flight is prohibited before take-off. Most of the passenger knows that a smartphone can cause a crash through electronics aircraft and lead to a plane crash. On the other hand, some passengers consider this a ploy of airlines that want to encourage passengers just to use paid on-board phone services.

How cell phones can affect aircraft electronics?

According to the aircraft survey, it is assumed that radio waves emitted by cell phones affect the performance of on-board computers and through this, it leads to a plane crash. You might think that it is just a piece of the word, rather than solid information. But this is not all-time true. Well, there are only two assumptions about how gadgets can affect the operation of on-board equipment:

·         Radio waves emitted by the phone drown out the signals of lighthouses and towers;

·         Emissions directly affect the electronics of navigation devices.

According to researchers, the phone should interfere with radio towers and beacons. This was considered the most likely option.

How the Study Shows the Result?

The electronic gadget emits radiofrequency radiation, regardless of whether it is a phone or a portable gamepad. A spectrum analyzer was used just to determine the power of the radio waves that emitted by the mobile phone. The measurement was carried out using a Faraday cage - a container whose inner part is isolated from any external influences. Scientists have measured the radiation of three objects:

1.       An MP3 player

2.       A portable game console

3.       A mobile phone.

The first two gadgets emitted subtle radio waves, while the smartphone showed a large jump in performance. Also, the experimenter's team modeled a radio wave communication between an airplane and an airport, just to check the radiation. In parallel, scientists tried to destroy it with a cellular generator, which emitted radiation of different powers. The first stage of the experiment took place in the frequency range of 1800 MHz of the GSM standard. After changing the frequency to 900 MHz, the arrow of experimental instruments began to deviate.

 After that for collecting the proof, the researchers went to the airport to confirm the indicators, radio wave radiation was tested onboard an airliner using different standards. During the experiment, various phone models used, but not one of them caused deviations of the on-board electronics.

Experts thinking:

Hundreds of electronic systems and important electrical equipment are installed on the airline. Nobody wants to check the effect of radio waves for each of them since it is expensive. Therefore, airlines simply eliminate the risk of negative effects of mobile phone signals on electrical appliances and ask to turn off gadgets during the flight. Those who disobedience that rule, they will able to pay a heavy fine.
