KC-46 Category 1 fault, indefinite restriction on passengers, cargo
Quote:
WASHINGTON — In a move that could have major impacts on the
already-delayed tanker program
, the U.S. Air Force has
indefinitely barred the KC-46
from carrying cargo and passengers, Defense News has learned.
The decision was made after an incident occurred where the cargo locks on the bottom of the floor of the aircraft became unlocked during a recent flight, creating concerns that airmen could potentially be hurt or even killed by heavy equipment that suddenly bursts free during a flight.
