787 wrinkling

I have a feeling this new wrinkling problem gets a lot of exposure, only because it follows the epic "stringer end cap delamination delay". Obviously it's a big non-conformity, some guys in Italy will have some explaining to do, but I believe this would be normal QA at work to fix the issue.

As Boeing struggles forward they make big leaps in their learning curve and understanding on how to build composite commercial AC. They will reap the benefits; if not on the 787, they will in the single aisle successor some day...
