Score another one for Jon Ostower, better known as Flightblogger.
Jon, who in my opinion is the source for all things Boeing, published a document this afternoon that appears to be a copy of a legitimate Airbus presentation entitled, “Boeing 787 Lessons Learnt.”
The 46-page document says that it was presented by Burkhard Domke, Head of Engineering Intelligence for Airbus and it has a date on it of October 2008. You can download a copy by clicking here.
The report outlines a list of problems that Boeing has had and continues to have with the 787 production process under a number of headings:
• Design Issues
• Weight Issues
• Engine Issues
• Certification Issues
• Production Issues
• Schedule Issues
Makes for some interesting reading.
