The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating concerns raised by a Boeing engineer who says that sections of the fuselage of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly fastened together and could break apart mid-flight after thousands of trips.
The engineer, Sam Salehpour, who worked on the plane, detailed his allegations in interviews with my colleagues. He is set to address a congressional hearing on April 17. In response, Boeing said it was “fully confident in the 787 Dreamliner,” rejecting Salehpour’s concerns.
