The article reviews technologies under study at NASA that will alert pilots of loss of control in time to take action or be able to take necessary action to avoid crashing. Topics discussed include efforts to understand factors behind loss of control, how flight simulator data has been reviewed to develop a new understanding of aircraft aerodynamics, use of models to simulate accidents, and design changes resulting from the data collected.
