flag A software flaw triggered by space weather grounded hundreds of flights worldwide in November 2025, including 90 in Australia affecting 15,000 passengers, leading to a global recall of 6,000 Airbus A320 aircraft—the largest in aviation history. flag The incident followed a JetBlue flight that lost altitude mid-flight, injuring passengers, after a software update interacted with intense solar radiation that may have corrupted flight-control data. flag Experts link the event to rising solar activity during Solar Cycle 25 and increased vulnerability of modern, radiation-sensitive electronics. flag Australia’s Centre for Accelerator Science uses ion accelerators to test aircraft systems under space radiation conditions, highlighting the growing need for radiation-hardened components and rigorous testing as space weather events become more frequent and severe.
