Boeing discloses a new design flaw with Dreamliners
Boeing has disclosed another design glitch with the 787 Dreamliner widebody jet, which is expected to lead to a slowdown in production. It said some of the planes’ fuselage was not joined together properly to meet standards and has been working with the FAA to fix the problem.
Boeing said Dreamliner planes already in service will not need to be grounded. The FAA said the problem ‘does not pose an immediate threat to flight safety.’
The agency plans to analyse data to see if modifications should be made on planes already in service. Boeing plans to modify planes currently waiting to be delivered which could push back delivery times by a few weeks.
