More 787 problems

Recommended Posts

I think this is problems with the engine supplier and not Boeing but since it is attached to the aircraft it is Boeings fault.

All Gen X engines and all UA aircraft so either something with UA maintenance or the Gen-X themselves unless it is a sensor or relay.

These are normal teething problems though.

Oh, for Pete's sake. A diversionary landing is NOT an "emergency landing". It is done as a precautionary move. Both aircraft could have safely continued to their destinations.

These are GE Engine problems.  Just unfortunate that these are also used by 787 as well.  

 

Be it noted that the 787 is exceeding their efficiency predictions by 3%, though are still overweight by 2% (which in time will be corrected).  The airlines have been ecstatic over their performance despite the battery trouble which Boeing feels is history now.

It's a shame that such a technologically and mechanically excellent aircraft will forever be tarnished and sub-par in the eyes of the general public due to rediculous news stories from news agencies who don't understand the first thing they're actually writing.

The difference here is that someone who does know what they're talking about will usually come along and clarify, correct (or, fortunately rarely, belittle the OP), unlike the mainstream media for whom details don't sell advertising space so are therefore unimportant. Then Joe Public winds up with the wrong impression, which sticks...

This airplane has had little odd and ends issues, nothing serious. I give Boeing props and still believe its a safe aircraft being developed. You guys got to remember, this is a whole new airplane for Boeing, with tons of new technology.

And for the same with Airbus and the A380. They started out a bit bumpy with issues but they are now fixed.

People take this stuff to dramatic and don't look inside of the box before having a reaction.

Yeah The A380 had wing cracking issues. It doesn't seem to be scaring passengers anymore.
