Sounds like a bad design to me. Let’s just keep flying…
In fairness, these are occuring in test airplanes that aren’t flying passengers. Not trying to defend Boeing - fuck those guys - just saying.
Ohh, it sounded like newer versions of an already released plane.
Kinda. It’s still in development. Will have a whole new engine and newer composite wings.
