Each class of solar flare is also graded on number scale, from 1 to 9, to determine its exact impact. There's an exception with X-class flares, however, which can go higher than 9.
Nasa warns that major space weather events could lead to ‘technological chaos’
Types past and present include microlights (Ultralight or ULM), including the Calypso, two-seat trainers and recreational aircraft (J120/J160/ J170/J230) and four-seat aircraft (J400/J430/J450). The aircraft are built largely of composite materials and are conventional high-wing monoplanes with typically tricycle undercarriage .
