Again the scold. Are you assuming Boeing cannot have done the simple things you list? We see the problem in different ways. Boeing's crisis is not in reading specifications off a standard drill sheet.....

Boeing's crisis is in leadership, and in a lack of innovative ways to do new things in command, in design, in bold new approaches.

You cannot out Boeing, Boeing. Their failure was in confidence, fossilized corporate structure, and an obeisance to archaic methods and approach. They were not up to the work. Their imagination was held captive by a weak underlayment of identity....

As this is a technical forum, you prevail, my approach is less quantitative, and I was fearful you would not accept my way.

It took Boeing eight years to build what is a troubled and iconoclastic icon of how to fumble, and kick the ball whilst trying to recover it.

It took NASA the same eight years to go to the moon.

Boeing did it your way....Everything Boeing did stank of fear. it still does.

Leadership. Boeing have lots of good engineers.

Each time you build a Battery, you start over and build something else. Everyone's job in Aerospace needs be concurrent, not repetitious and formulaic the goal is an Aircraft, a unified and very nearly living thing.

Someone needs to see the gestalt, not the parts.

Be well
