Boeing cites risks in design of A321XLR, Airbus' newest jet
Boeing has raised concerns over the design of arch-rival Airbus’ newest narrow-body jet, the A321XLR, saying a novel type of fuel tank could pose fire risks.The US plane giant’s intervention is not without precedent in a global system that regularly allows manufacturers to chime in whenever safety rules are being interpreted in a way that might affect the rest of the industry.

No good! sitting on top of a few hundred gallons of airplane fuel, greed,
I bet this is just Boeing trying to get back at airbus for the 737 max issue. For a while, airbus had an advantage over Boeing because their neos actually flew. Now, Boeing just wants to gain some lost ground by dong that. I think so, anyway.
Boeing was a great company now they are shit
What about the A330 softwear glitch that had the aircraft diving towards the ground on 3 different aircraft with the pilots barely able to save it. See video on Qantas 72. No one got killed so it has gone unnoticed but it was close.
If there is a legitimate concern there should be (and probably is) a way of raising the issue without going public. This not only distracts from the issue but makes Boing look petty.
But now the important point...is this a real safety concern? I might be on one f those planes some day and if it is a legitimate concern I hope it is looked into and everything is made safe befor it enters service.

Boeing is f'ing abysmal; has no leg to stand on; how chickensh_t of them to level accusations at the competition. I wish that I would run into the as_holes at Boeing who were responsible for their MAX issues (attempted coverup = murder) because the justice system has once, again, failed in holding Boeing accountable.
