The Boeing 787 Dreamliner taxis after its landing at Le Bourget airport, east of Paris, upon its presentation for the first time at the 49th Paris Air Show at the airport, on Jun 21, 2011. NEW YORK: Boeing defended its safety practices on Monday , touting aircraft testing protocols as it girds for a tough congressional hearing featuring critics of the embattled aviation giant.
Steve Chisholm, chief engineer for Boeing Mechanical and Structural Engineering, told reporters gathered at a Charleston, South Carolina factory and on a webcast, that"there was zero fatigue" found in testing. After Salehpour's complaint last week, Boeing released a lengthy rebuttal insisting it is"fully confident" in the aircraft and noting that regulators with the FAA signed off on Boeing's processes when the company addressed the gap issue in 2022.
With 787 deliveries suspended during large stretches of this span, the company removed thousands of fasteners on some 120 planes in inventory and conducted rework on eight planes, company officials said.
