Boeing 787

[pErvinalia]

Yep. But as every article which brings up the a380 at all says, those where regular, and minor, teething problems. The grounding of an entire fleet hasn't happened since 1979 and is due to very serious concerns about the safety of the 787.

Yeah, but merka's better than yourup.

Reported for being French.

Let the free-market work it out. Relatives of the dead can sue Boeing. No more crashes after that.

The regulatory environment we have prevents crashes? Good to know...

God you are a joke.

Better than being a humorless sod, like you.

Nobody made that assertion here, and it's hardly ever expressed on this forum (except in jest). The reverse, however, is commonly expressed and implied, in seriousness.

I'm disappointed at the lack of Dreamliner jokes. After 2 seconds of googling, I could only find this weak example...



Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, the only passenger jet to have a plastic fuselage, has been grounded.

Presumably Airfix failed to put a big enough tube of glue in the box.

Ho.ho.

I think kids these days just buy the Airfix tube and the cheapest plane kit, then toss the plane in the nearest trash bin.

Or they do not know Airfix at all.

battery not the problem

then what?

Apparently, Boeing not only outsourced the manufacture of many components (OK in itself), but also their design. So Boeing isn't really in a position to know what's actually wrong, be it the battery or something else.

Now that would be sacrilege.

They can send me the kit if they're not going to build it.

They probably subcontracted out the subcontracting.

They probably subcontracted out the subcontracting.

And the sub-subcontractors in turn outsourced the work to some 10-year old urchin in Mumbai without telling anyone.

Murali, your tea is ready!

Coming mum, just a minute

Murali, it's going cold!

Coming, Mum!

Are you assembling servo-motors for Boeing in your bedroom again?!? I warned you once about that!

Sorry, Mum......Mum, have you got a fire extinguisher?

[cronus]

Should let the black box determine the fault after the first crash. This is the most economic solution?
