Boeing finds debris in fuel tanks of many undelivered 737 MAX jets
Boeing Co (BA.N) has found debris in the fuel tanks of dozens of undelivered 737 MAX jets amid ongoing inspections as the Chicago-based planemaker struggles to restore the trust of airlines and the wider public in the grounded fleet. Boeing found debris in the fuel tanks of about 35 aircraft, a company spokesman confirmed on Friday. A person familiar with the matter told Reuters that more than 50% of the undelivered 737 MAX jets inspected thus far have had debris found in them.
Several more planes are still awaiting inspection.
“We are taking steps to make sure we eliminate FOD (foreign object debris) from any and all aircraft. This is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated on any Boeing aircraft when it’s delivered to the customer,” Boeing said in an emailed statement.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), when asked about the debris, said it could not confirm Boeing’s numbers.
An FAA spokesman said the agency was aware that Boeing was conducting a voluntary inspection for FOD, adding that FAA had increased its surveillance based on initial inspection reports and would take further action based on the findings. This week, an internal memo seen by Reuters showed that Boeing found debris that could pose potential safety risks in the fuel tanks of several 737 MAX aircraft in storage and waiting to be delivered to airlines.
The New York Times reported on Friday that federal prosecutors investigating Boeing are examining whether the planemaker misled the FAA while it was seeking approval for the 737 MAX.

it was a useful tool in 2018 up to when it "expired"-helped spouse and used it along with some proofs for normies. After that? not so much. It has it's uses (and is still relevant) like any resource-discern what you see.
this is a large issue wtih many…separate the product from the people who produce it. Much better. None of them are clean…all have skeletons. Easier to do with music not with movies. Once you do that it's easier to see all the products for what they are…products and nothing moar.
