Oooooo.... This is gonna get ugly.

I wonder how much Airbus is paying this guy?

I suspect they probably are going to be on Boeing's side...according to
Wikipedia, their new A350WXB already contains MORE composites than the 787. An
that's *before* the report that they're going to an all-composite fuselage.

Well, since I mentioned Cessna and Lockheed as well as Boeing, and since all
the manufacturer does is supply data and the other guys do the
certification, which yahoos do you THINK I'm talking about.

No, nobody in their right senses puts a defective product on the market for
several reasons, ethics and lawsuits are two of them.

Don't worry, I fully expect Boeing to be able to defend their design
with test data. If they couldn't, they wouldn't be able to get it
certified.

Unfortunately, test data do not always accurately predict real life.

Boeing would be slitting its own throat by cooking the books on this one, but
time will tell. The lure of the almighty dollar can be very strong,
especially over the short term (one fiscal quarter to the next).

While it is evident that Mr. Vincent A. Weldon is qualified to issue
his concerns in his comment on this issue, I fail to see how the
carbon-fiber composite construction of the Boeing 787-8 is
significantly different from that used in many military aircraft.

It's not ... but military aircraft and personnel are considered much more
expendable than civilian aircraft and personnel, so the threshold of
acceptable risk is much higher. Hmm.

He raises some points about Boeing's cost cutting to reduce assembly time
and weight, but those should be easily addressed.

My major concern about the 787 is that so little of it is actually produced by
Boeing, and is actually farmed out to all sorts of foreign contractors of
questionable reliability, either to increase profit margins or for political
reasons.

Which is different from the 777 how? Most of the 777 is made by
external suppliers.

Like you'd know anything about real life.
