the basic DEI thing is fine, and needed.
the fact that it has turned into a giant DEI consultant grifter thing is not fine and giant waste.

the hand rails look way smaller than 4" diameter

the verticals look like 1.5 or 2" squares not 2x4"
the looming bankruptcy will be a political mess. the military side will likely be sold off in pieces. the space side will be put out of its misery. hard to say what will happen with the commercial aircraft side; maybe reformed as "NewBoeingInc".
Really great way to get a motivated work force back making quality aircraft. Its like they intentionally want to power dive the company into the ground. Sad.
As I vaguely recall, those Computervision stations got dumped when Boeing transitioned to CATIA.
And, thanks a lot (not) for reminding me of the cluster **** that was DVAC/MRM.
For while in the ‘90s Boeing tried to develop their own CAD system; it finally got killed when they had to admit it...
This has been discussed before. No one and no political entity wants the flood zones increased (even when it makes sense) as it impacts property values and insurance costs. Its a nationwide problem.
AE just records internal "sounds".
It can sort of sometimes be used to triangulate the location of the sound.
It cannot indicate what created the sound. Relying on it for this application is just IMO foolish.
GF -
(I haven't dug deep into all the reports, but)
- the bond between the end of the composite hull and the Ti ring (the surface shown in the photos above) is completely useless structurally; trying to transfer load onto the end of a thick laminate is just not done by anyone with a clue; it...
The cut fibers,
- cause a local stress concentration in the laminate as load has to shift to adjacent layers,
- cause a stress concentration in the adhesive bondline, which is already compromised by porosity, voids and general poor quality
How much the cut fibers degrade the overall strength...
Oh my, it gets worse:
Not only are there nasty wrinkles that significantly reduce the compression strength, but some idiot decided it would be a good idea to machine them flat, thereby cutting the very fibers they are counting on to carry the load. UGH.
And then this gem:
A "nice" planar...
