411A:
"Boeing...and rudders, can they NOT get it right?
. . .
"Question: WHY has this not been FIXED a LONG time ago, in ALL Boeing aircraft?
"Good grief, is a COMPLETE grounding of the fleet required to fix this?
Lockheed/Douglas, no problem."
So, what is "right" to you?
NOTHING is infallible or totally fail-safe! The 747 in question landed safely. That indicates Boeing DID "get it right"!
Douglas didn't "get it right" in all cases, either... There was recently a [not so] minor problem with a MD-80 horizontal stab jackscrew...
