> The engine is built by CFM, and it's CFM who will have to actually design the required fix. Boeing doesn't have the skills for that because the complexity of a modern turbofan is more similar to a microchip than the rest of the airplane. From what I can tell, Boeing designed the existing cowl and NTSB says they need to redesign it. The complexity of the jet engine itself doesn’t seem particularly relevant because the cowl isn’t needed to make the engine function. It’s needed to catch shrapnel if the engine fails and flies apart. > The public loves fire-and-brimstone responses to safety issues but the honest truth is that sometimes airplanes crash for stupid reasons and vaporizing all of the accumulated experience a company has following a crash is not going to make things safer. No idea why you are saying this in response to my comment. All I said is the NTSB wrote that Boeing needs to redesign the cowl and you seem to think I said Boeing needs to be liquidated. |
