The Boeing 787 mid-sized airliner has once again been found to have a problem with its horizontal tail, which was discovered back in September this year, and now just three months later, a new manufacturing problem has been discovered, which means that there was a big problem with the manufacturing of this batch of airliners from the factory.
Is this proof that Boeing, the US aircraft giant, has made some mistakes in the manufacture of its airplanes,either the technicians are not up to standard or there are problems with the equipment at the factory, or the raw materials are not good enough,
No matter what kind of problems there are, the problems that occur when the airplanes are operating are not enough to make the airplanes any better. The situation is not tolerated, after all, the aircraft generally do not have problems, a problem then may lead to the destruction of people, as early as September this year, 787 airliners were exposed to the level of the tail there are manufacturing problems, caused a huge controversy, the good thing is that it did not cause casualties, but only a few forced to stop the landing. But if the series of airplanes are not thoroughly inspected and the causes are not identified at the source, then it is only a matter of time before something goes wrong afterward, and Boeing has indicated to the public that it is now stepping up inspections, and because of the problems that have arisen, then it may also lead to delays in deliveries to airlines.
At the same time, the Federal Aviation Administration has also weighed in, saying that this is not an urgent safety issue. Although this is not directly related to the safety of the aircraft, but it is related to the stability of the aircraft, after all, the aircraft in the process of flight, any small fluctuations may affect the overall operation of the aircraft, but also related to the hundreds of guests in the aircraft on the health, so I think as long as and human security related, then there is no so-called big and small problems.
Through the collection of information, we know that the 787 adopts a large number of components and materials from Japanese manufacturers, and the main components in the composite materials are contracted by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which may also be affected by the problems of the 787, because the problem is in the fuselage, which is mainly due to the carbon fiber composite material used to make the fuselage, but also due to the fact that the composite material is made of carbon fiber. Because the carbon fiber composites used to make the fuselage are less precise in their joining operations, then it suggests that it may not be the material itself that is the problem, but rather the skill of the operator, so this leads to small cracks in the joining sections, which may cause structural deterioration of this kind of problem to occur earlier.
