*** What's wrong with the 787? ***
I spent the weekend with 33 friends on an overnight snowmobile trip. We had time to drink and talk....Many worked for Boeing, both as Engineers and Machinist.....
Talk was the "inside story" on the problems with the 787 Battery issue. 2 educated opinions:
1) All the cabon composite creates friction that builds up static electricity......Creates problems with excessive battery volatge?
2) Engineering has been out-sourced......Certain countries (Italy) have totally different standards and does not mesh well with the product the Boeing Engineers in the US have done.......
Just the rumors.....Any opinions? Jeff Higgins, anything you can repeat?
