Researcher suggests another brief but fiery cause for MH370's disappearance
We know MH370 was suddenly taken off course. This theory doesn't involve rogue pilots, but bad luck and several design flaws (blogs.crikey.com.au) 更多...

So it selectively took out Transponders, pressurisation and ACARS selectively leaving the adjacent critical flight avionics working specifically. Then the FIS just programmed the flight-path/altitude changes by itself along with the turns/AP turns. Yep must be the cause.
Well I have a had a couple of windshields fail at altitude but never a windshield on fire! The middle pane electrical grid can short or give out, over temp or under temp and the outside pane goes bang, but the inside pane maintains integrity although hard to see through. A leaking 02 doesn't make alot of sense since on normal it is demand only, not pressure demand and a review of bottle pressure would show a drop on the guage. In the absence of direct evidence I still believe that "some" incident caused the crew to select hdg and spin the slew the hdg selector to the left for an immediate return before incapacitation. Heading S/W until fuel starvation. It's a mystery alright.

Thx for links, but only the Egypt Air acciident draws any kind of conclusion that frayed wires next to the 1st officers' 02 supply tube may have provided the ignition source. And if it gets inside the sidewall then it may travel all the way to the 02 source via the supply line. Most windshield fires are short lived because the of CB protection and crew action........still as everyone states, when the a/c is finally found there may be answers. At least through FA the story stays out in front.
The aircraft would've continued along its pre-programmed flight path to Beijing if that were the case.
It's always best to read the article before posting. Better yet click the link to the full paper. The crew initiated an emergency diversion. How far they got in the process and the final autopilot configuration is unknown.
The calculated flight path shows the plane turning left, and then right, and then left again before heading out over the open ocean. That doesn't look like a beeline for the closest suitable airfield, as would've been executed if there was any sign of fire on board. Furthermore, there has never been a case where an airplane was able to remain airborne for more than half an hour while on fire.
As the article states, if you've already made up your mind that rogue pilots or some spy/counter spy conspiracy caused the loss, don't bother reading. Pleasent skies Edward.
I wanted to know how they came to their conclusion is all.
You could try reading both the article and the full paper.
I did. And it doesn't equate to what I know about airplanes and accidents.
Well, it IS just a suggested possibility, not a final accident report.
