It really doesn't matter how often you fly, the thought of crashing through turbulence at 35,000 feet is always terrifying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commercial flights encounter a few bumps every day of the week, with most cases resulting in nothing more than a small tea spill on the tray table.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/this-is-what-its-like-to-be-aeroplane.html"> – when turbulence really hits, things can get pretty hairy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turbulence is extremely unlikely to ever bring a plane down <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/this-is-what-its-like-to-be-aeroplane.html">but it can cause harm to passengers and crew</a> who might not be strapped to their seats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It can also transform quiet, uneventful flights into scenes like this – </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a new technology hopes to bring an end to the terror of turbulence once and for all. And it’s already being used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Total Turbulence is a new system developed by The Weather Company and is set to revolutionise air travel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fitted to the aeroplane, the Total Turbulence system keeps a vigilant eye on what is happening miles above our heads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
State-of-the-art software monitors every bump and even measures the exact force of the turbulent air outside the plane.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of this data is instantly relayed to the ground where it is mapped and combined with the latest weather reports from aviation meteorologists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combined, this vital information provides a detailed map of the world's turbulence which can then be beamed to pilots in the area – helping them to pick clean air.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since pilots are picking a path through known patches of turbulence, the result is smoother, safer flight for everyone onboard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Total Turbulence can also be cheaper for airlines, since they no longer have to pick-up the bill for any damages or delays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More than 700 planes are currently fitted with the Total Turbulence system, with around 14,000 observations beamed back to The Weather Company every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about the revolutionary system, Mark D. Miller, Vice President and General Manager of Decision Support, told <em>NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com</em>: "Turbulence free flights are definitely the goal and we're making significant progress towards that goal.</div>

"Science and technology allows continuous improvement in our ability to forecast areas where we can expect turbulence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Over the next five to 10 years with computer power increasing and the flight models get more sophisticated you could envision significant improvement in our ability to predict where turbulence is.</div>

"This is an area that's improving all the time and the aim is to predict 100 per cent of turbulent areas and the industry is working hard towards that goal".</div>
