Air Force finds another problem with Boeing’s KC-46 tanker
I don't think this has been discussed here yet.
The U.S. Air Force has indefinitely
barred the Boeing-built KC-46 from carrying cargo and passengers, the trade publication Defense News reported Wednesday.The decision followed an incident in which 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, Defense One reported.An Air Force spokesman said that “until we find a viable solution with Boeing to remedy this problem, we can’t jeopardize the safety of our aircrew and this aircraft.” The Air Force issued a Category 1 deficiency report on the problem, signifying a serious technical issue that could endanger the aircrew and aircraft or have other major effects, Defense One reported.
