Boeing engineer alleges that assembly issues with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner raises safety concerns.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a Boeing engineer's allegations that assembly defects in the company's 787 Dreamliner raise safety concerns. Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at Boeing , said 'he observed shortcuts taken by Boeing ' during the assembly of the plane, 'resulting in drilling debris left in interfaces and deformation of composite material,' CBS News reported.
Boeing added that 'the issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight' and that they 'do not present any safety concerns.' Boeing also said it has introduced 'join verification' into its production processes after slowing output and halting deliveries for nearly two years in response to employees who identified issues on the 787.
