IoT could find MH370 crash site right now

I thank letter-writer Thomas for his information on radar “blips”, pilot “squawks” and remote control of the autopilot function. But I think I need to clarify and expand on my comments about using the Internet of Things (IoT) to find the missing Malaysian airliner. 

My description was for a real-time, new solution that can be applied now. 

There are approximately 36,000 commercial flights worldwide per day, comprising everything from single-engine propeller planes to multiple-engine jetliners. 

What makes the MH370 different from the other 35,999 planes is its transponder – the aircraft’s unique fingerprint. 

My basic premise is that when MH370’s transponder was turned off, its old-tech electronic “fingers” were severed. But there is a new and brilliant new-tech surgeon named the IoT that has a new and revolutionary technique. It can “grow” new electronic fingers for MH370 in the unique harmonics of the plane’s cockpit instrument panel and also the engine’s harmonics. And this new IoT fingerprint can be used to track MH370 to its final destination. 

Right now there is probably only one person or company on Earth that can perform this IoT magic – the chief scientist at RF Controls in St Louis, Missouri. This is the man who made the IoT breakthrough. 

It is also worth repeating that the IoT is the biggest commercial event in world history. Virtually all sectors will be revolutionised by this new tech, from transport, nuclear energy, space exploration and weapons systems to audio-visual systems and banking. The top five Thai banks are reducing staff and facilities by up to 35 per cent because of the IoT’s virtually unlimited and exponential growth and benefits. The Internet of Things is changing the human condition and world history, dramatically and right now.
