Boeing removed a feature that protects its 787 planes during lightning strikes as a cost-cutting measure, even after FAA experts objected
Boeing removed a feature that protects its 787 planes during lightning strikes as a cost-cutting measure even after technical experts from the Federal Aviation Administration experts objected, according to a new report from The Seattle Times. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure will today grill FAA Administrator Steve Dickson about why the FAA's managers ultimately approved the change, which involved removing copper foil from part of the 787 Dreamliner's wings.

All i can say is, watch the 787 documentary by Al Jazeera. Safety problems and FAA ineptitude and Boeing going full "profits over quality" all around. Dont take it from me, take it from Boeing safety and quality engineers. One of them said he waits on the day a 787 drops out of the sky...
Lesson learned: don't add extra safety features which you'll have trouble removing later if they're determined as unnecessary.
We called the FAA the Coffin Administration. They only made changes or enforced their own regulations after many people were killed. Just ask the NTSB.
Does anyone else have the suspicion that someone at Boening is trying to destroy the company?
Can’t we just go back to basics and quit betting our lives on a silicon diode ?
YOU MUST WONDER IF SOMEONE MADE SOME MONEY ON THIS..
