FAA warns of possible defect in Boeing 777 engines::undefined
Seems like the title is a bit deceptive. It mentions multiple airliners from both Boeing and Airbus, that are potentially in need of having engine components replaced, due to defects introduced by GE Aerospace.
FTA: “As per FlightGlobal, the FAA’s proposal is the latest in a series of regulatory actions that have been taken in response to the discovery of iron inclusion in several types of GE Aerospace engines, including the GEnx and CFM International Leap turbofans. The GEnx powers Boeing 787 aircraft, while the Leap powers Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320neo-family aircraft.”
Dead bodies
This is the metric that the FAA and aircraft manufacturers use to fix a problem.
If the body count rises to triple digits then they’ll think of doing something.
The type of bodies also matter. A North America or European one is equivalent to two Asians or five Africans.
Boeing executives need to be jailed and the company needs to be restructured immediately
While I don’t necessarily disagree with the sentiment, you must also understand that Boeing makes precisely zero engines for its commercial airframes. In the context of this article, the companies you should direct your ire to are GE and CFM International.
For buying engines from GE? That also affect Airbus jets too?
Like what are you saying.
That they also didn’t even buy because its the customer that buys the engines.
Not sure why people are downvoting you, because that’s more or less exactly how buying a factory-fresh civil airliner works.
Glad you spoke up, let’s get you in as new CEO…
