The Liberals recommend that Americans stay under their beds until the November elections then come out to vote for Biden and whoever his female running mate is, collect the dead bodies and wait for the Democrats to save them with another Government handout all the while the experts at CNN, NSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC can broadcast from the safety of their basements and living rooms while still drawing their 6 & 7 figure salaries as they tell the rest of the Nation how to live, sounds like a perfectly well thought out plan. GO BOEING

Tiny forging defects in the disks have a way of growing, its just a natural material process of thermal and dynamic cycles, its been that way since titanium started being used 70 years ago. the solution is to go to a ultrasonic inspection process instead of florescent penatrant to monitor the defects when the engine undergoes overhaul.

The G4 will require some extensive hanger time and x-ray inspection to determine the extent of hidden damage, they will need a team from Savannah for sure, it could be a problem with this world wide virus pandemic

Interesting video of " crabbing " Back in the 60's at Lockheed where I was a Quality Engineer and the C5-A was designed and built, it had a crosswind computer that was tied into the main landing gear of 4 main bogies 6 wheels each, the purpose of the crosswind computer was to drive the main bogies to line up with the centerline on the runway using input from the ALS system when the fuselage was crabbing due to cross winds. it worked ok at times but when it failed, it was spectacular with the loss of one or more of the bogies. When the B model C5's were built, they left off the crosswind computer system

The Market seems to be moving away from wide bodies to narrow bodies like the 320XLR so I wonder if this will actually end up making money for Boeing in the long run. I also think the GE engines for this aircraft will have long term reliability issues, GE has pushed the material to its limits trying to get the lightest power plant while delivering the greatest thrust can you imagine what a catastrophic fan disk failure would do to this engine, then your down to ONE and over the Pacific ?

A lot of jokes can and are made on this subject, but its no laughing matter. just as various diseases were spread around the world by explorers hundreds of years ago, now it happens in just hours and we are starting to see the evidence in the spread of measles that we thought were once eradicated

Is the need for the copper backed by empirical Engineering data or is it just a redundant layer, like a third backup Hydraulic system might be. Safety is critical but piling on is overkill and can add to other problems and issues not just cost.
