Boeing's got 787 problems

2021-11-22 20:24:10.692561+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Oh look, the broken engineering culture that led to the 737 MAX problems spread further than that: FAA memo reveals more Boeing 787 manufacturing defects, including contamination of carbon fiber composites

The memo states that more than 1,000 airplanes currently flying are affected and that the FAA is concerned about the lack of detailed assembly data on every airplane. Boeing submitted its proposal for inspections and indicated that the process would not require FAA approval.
