FAA reveals flaw in another major Boeing plane that could result in fuel tank exploding
NY Post
Yet another fleet of Boeing airplanes was found to have a potentially disastrous flaw — one that could set the entire aircraft ablaze.
The Federal Aviation Administration found that the company’s 777 liner has poor electrical insulation near its fuel tank, according to a proposed rule the federal regulator posted in March.
“This condition, if not addressed, could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank and subsequent fire or explosion,” the Airworthiness Directives note states.
The possibly deadly fault would affect nearly 300 of Boeing’s aircraft across the US: the 77–200, –200LR, –300, –300ER, and 777F series jets.
Though an older jet, the Boeing 777 is commonly used across the globe, especially by American and United Airlines — and is the same massive twinjet that plunged 6,000 feet during a Singapore Airlines flight this week that injured dozens and killed a 73-year-old grandfather.
Although the FAA’s report exposes the liner’s vulnerability, the federal regulator is not required to address the issue — a project that the FAA estimates would cost $14 million to fix.
