Boeing warns of new defect on 787 Dreamliners
- MortimerDukePhD 3y agoImagine if every minor glitch in iPhone or MacBook manufacturing was made public and captured news headlines.
- jfghi 3y agoOff-topic comparison. 1. Apple is heavily scrutinized. 2. Airplanes have high standards for design and manufacturing as errors have serious consequences. Boeing has recent failures and deserves to be under a microscope.
- MortimerDukePhD 3y agoI believe you're quite wrong. I read the article. They discovered some minor non-conformance that's not safety related and are fixing it. Airplanes are incredibly complex machines with millions of parts. Scaling this analogy it's like a finding a minor manufacturing issue with the iPhone's PCB. Which probably happens all the time and you'd never know or hear about it. I can't think of a single Apple product I've owned that didn't have some defect that required a widespread "repair program" to resolve.
