Boeing is facing more criticism of its standards after it revealed that its Starliner spacecraft has indefinitely delayed its return to Earth after docking with the International Space Station.
The 777X fleet, slated to be the world’s largest twin-engine widebody when it begins operations, has been grounded after a key component – said to be a structural component between the engine and the airframe – was found to be faulty.
Reuters, the respected news agency, said a “person familiar with the probe” made the claim after authorities previously revealed feathers were found in just one jet engine.
