A report by The Guardian describes a newly emerged safety issue with Boeing 737 aircraft. The report describes an incident where a Boeing 737 Max 8 rudder became jammed. Investigation has shown that aircraft operated by up to 40 airlines may be fitted with suspect rudder parts which will need to be replaced. You might say that Boeing has had a lot of bad luck lately, but the truth is that luck is not the issue; luck should play no part in aircraft safety, and the issue is bad management and the resulting poor quality control. | |
