NEW technology could finally solve the mystery of the missing flight MH370 and raise hopes that new research could begin again.

The Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) could now be used to accurately calculate the final location of the Malaysian Airlines passenger plane before it disappears over the Indian Ocean.

Extensive testing of the new technology for tracking historical data from radio signals hitting aircraft has led experts to believe they could focus on a more specific underwater search area that teams could comb.

The tests were powered by the use of the forgotten WSPR system implemented in 2009 that records every interaction between aircraft in the sky and signals from the ground.

The encoded information of each signal is stored every two minutes in a database that records a time stamp, position and drift.

The contact helps provide accurate chronologies of aircraft trajectories, which are known to be difficult to monitor in such a large airspace.

When the MH370 disappeared, the database counted about 200 signals every two minutes.

Now a series of detections can be used to track the flight when it is out of range of radar systems.

British aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey, who conducted the tests, compares the technology to a series of invisible sensors that record movement between clouds.

He said The temperature: “Imagine you are crossing a meadow with invisible tripwires that cross the entire area and go back and forth in length and width.

“With every step you take, you walk on certain trigger wires and we can locate you at the intersection of the disturbed trigger wires. We can follow your path as you move through the meadow. “

Despite the concept that the missing Boeing 777 triggers invisible “electronic trigger wires” while exploring, the occupied airspace makes it extremely difficult to confirm whether it is the Malaysia Airlines aircraft.

Godfrey, who is on a team still trying to locate the aircraft, used WSPR technology to track an Orion aircraft belonging to the New Zealand Air Force.

He followed the flight path of the aircraft, which was able to photograph debris floating in the sea shortly after the MH370 disappeared.

The snapshots apparently contained the remains of a Boeing 777 wing component – but it was never recovered.

L’ORION

Many experts now believe that the large shield could have been part of the Malaysia Airlines jet.

If the assumption is correct, this would bring the Orion to the last known location, closest to where the Boeing 777 – with 239 people on board – mysteriously disappeared.

The Orion flight is now the focus of testing with the new technology.

After years of unsuccessful searches, there is hope that the Weak Signal Propagation Reporter will start a new search in the depths of the sea.

Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity conducted the latest research in 2018, armed with a fleet of unmanned underwater vehicles.

Despite the advanced technology that allowed them to cover 50,000 square miles of ocean floor, they found nothing.

But after the news of the successful WSPR studies was announced, the team announced that it was ready to resume further research.

RESEARCH FEES

“We are always interested in resuming research, be it because of new information or new technology,” said a spokesman.

He said late next year or early 2023 would be the “most sensitive” delay there is.

Godfrey believes the radio signal database could contain important clues as to the exact flight path of the doomed aircraft and the crash site.

It will take two months for specially developed software to search the database to find any traces of the MH370.

The elusive and most expensive aviation puzzle in the world has puzzled search teams since the Malaysia Airlines plane went missing on March 8, 2014.

It disappeared from the radar after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing and made an inexplicable U-turn from its intended trajectory.

Seven years after flight MH370, some investigators believe the aircraft’s captain made a series of zigzags to destabilize flight crews and evade radar systems.
