Good news for people who hate flying

A new technology  could help calm the nerves of stressed-out fliers. A German company has developed a laser  which uses blasts of ultraviolet radiation to detect what’s known as clear air turbulence.  It’s  an invisible pocket of air with a different density, which causes turbulence when a plane flies through it.  The laser allows pilots to detect the pockets well in advance and avoid them.  No word on when carriers could start using the technology.
