Original title: British media: Boeing says new defects have been found on Boeing 787
According to Reuters Washington on October 14, Boeing said on October 14 that some titanium parts of the Boeing 787 "dream airliner" manufactured in the past three years had manufacturing defects. This is the latest in a series of problems plaguing the wide body airliner.
Boeing said the quality problem would not affect current flight safety, adding that it had notified the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Boeing is trying to determine how many aircraft contain such defective parts.
It is reported that Boeing said that these parts were provided by Leonardo company of Italy, which purchased these parts from MPs company of Italy. Leonardo confirmed that MPs is no longer its supplier. Italian Leonardo's shares fell further, closing down 7%. Boeing shares closed down 2%.
Leonardo said in a statement that MPs is to blame for these problems.
MPs did not immediately respond to a request for comment, the report said.
These components include accessories that help secure the floor beam in one fuselage frame section, as well as accessories, gaskets, brackets and clips in other components.
Aircraft that have not yet been delivered will be reworked, and aircraft that have been operated with passengers will need to pass Boeing's review procedures and be confirmed by the FAA.
It is reported that when this defect is found, Boeing is trying to deal with other problems of Boeing 787. These problems have led it to cut production and stop delivery since May this year.
