Whistleblower says Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is flawed
Newsy
The Federal Aviation Administration has launched a probe into the jets. The engineer who raised alarms says Boeing retaliated against him.
A whistleblower is speaking out after the Federal Aviation Administration announced a probe into Boeing's Dreamliners.
Those aircraft are different from three other Boeing models that suffered mid-air incidents this year.
Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour alleges that the 787 jets could have damaged parts, including improperly closed gaps in the bodies, which airlines may not know how to check for.
Salehpour first voiced his concerns to The New York Times Tuesday.
The engineer’s attorney said the FAA was surprised to discover the gaps were still an issue. Boeing disputed the allegations, saying it worked with the FAA to ensure the issues don't cause safety concerns.
