Akasa Air and CFM International did not divulge the exact number of engines that are part of the order, nor did they give details of the deal’s financials.
this aircraft, how they ll examine it, how they ll be able to find the potential failures that took place before that plug door was whisked away. that does bring up a point, the public could help. i don t know that anyone has actually found the component that was blown outside. my understanding is that this window actually exited the aircraft, separated, as they say, from the aircraft. so it would be great to find that wreckage some place along the route of the flight, but they also have the aircraft, obviously, and they can look at the remainder of the adhesive and the metal that is designed to retain that plug. so they do have at least part of the puzzle. they have the part that s still on the aircraft, but i m sure they would love to find that
i think that s a very prudent move on the part of both the airlines and the ntsb, and of course, fredricka, you know the ntsb only makes recommendations. normally it s the faa that grounds the aircraft. it sounds like they ll follow up very quickly. as far as we know, this is the first time anything like this has happened with this particular modification to the aircraft. some people reported it as a door. we know it s essentially a fuselage plug because this is a smaller version of the max aircraft, and it doesn t require that many exits. so this fuselage plug, we ve tried to explain it to people all day long. perhaps your point of view on this to help viewers new to the scene here, that this space operates as giving this aircraft some options, depending on what the seating is, how many people to a plane.
glue, and the metal mounts that hold this plug in place were properly installed. we saw the same kind of problem on the max with the control cable, not related to the current problem, but i think they re going to have to take a careful look at the quality control of the manufacturing of this particular component on the boeing max aircraft, on all of them. is it a quality control issue of the manufacturing, or is it also a reconsideration of the engineering, the design of this type of fashion? well, both will be on the table and we certainly know there s been a troubled history with the faa s oversight of boeing on the max. so i think they will look at that to see if there s, for example, enough connecters, enough, if you will, bolts, to hold it in place if a couple of
