In a little-noticed #FAA filing last month, fed regulators requested comments on a proposed rule that would mandate #Boeing update a critical communications malfunction in their 787 Dreamliner plane that could lead to disastrous accidents.
VHF radio channels are transferring b/w the active & standby settings w/o flight crew input. “The uncommanded frequency changes could result in missed communications between the flightcrew & Air Traffic Control."

This article, which explains how the previous tariffs made #Boeing lose significant market share to #Airbus, gives a good example of how damaging tariffs can work out.
It all might look good on a paper napkin, but Boeing supporting the cancellation of #Trump 's previous #tariffs on Airbus shows that real-life effects are often very different from what is on your napkin.

I'm curious what these will go for! I won't be bidding myself. I mean, yeah I want them – but honestly, where would I put them? These things are huge!

Starliner’s flight to the space station was far wilder than most of us thought.

… y debido a la asimetría de los fallos no se habría podido mantener el control de actitud, con lo que tampoco habría estado asegurado que la nave hubiera podido reentrar en la orientación adecuada. Vaya broma.
A esto hay que sumar que la noche anterior la pasaron los astronautas a 10 °C y sin ropa de abrigo. Tuvieron que ponerse los trajes.
I'm constantly amazed by test pilots and how much they put on the line. They were a hair away from not getting home, and NASA being in front of Congress for years.

"Starliner’s flight to the space station was far wilder than most of us thought" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Eric Berger interviewed Butch Wilmore about what it was like piloting #Boeing #Starliner, including during thruster malfunctions at station docking when it wouldn't go where he wanted it. He didn't know if a safe abort and de-orbit was possible either. They safely docked. The problem was due overheating tightly-packed thruster pods. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/the-harrowing-story-of-what-flying-starliner-was-like-when-its-thrusters-failed/ #NASA #space #StarlinerCFT

Schon in seiner ersten Amtszeit ist US-Präsident Trump von Kongressmitgliedern enttäuscht gewesen, die Waffenverkäufe wegen Menschenrechts- oder anderer Bedenken verzögerten. Angeblich will er das nun umgehen: Indem er das Exportkontrollgesetz reformiert.#Politik #DonaldTrump #Rüstungsexporte #LockheedMartin #Boeing
