More Trouble for Boeing's Dreamliner
Minggu, 16 Maret 2014 02:04 WIB
TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Boeing's Dreamliner has been a big success for the manufacturer, racking more than $200 billion in sales. But the fuel-efficient, lightweight jet continues to be hit by problems, as reported by CNN Money .
On Friday Boeing announced that a manufacturing problem had cause hairline cracks in the wings of some Dreamliners. None of the planes affected have been shipped to customers yet.
"It's not this particular (cracked wing) problem that's important. It's the pattern that's important," said Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst with the Teal Group. "They produced a very promising jet, but clearly it's a work in progress. It's not a happy situation."
News about the cracks on Friday were quickly overshadowed by the tragedy of a Malaysia Airlines' Boeing jet. The aircraft disappeared and is presumed to have crashed early Saturday in Asia.
