B 787 The Best Kept Secret in Aviation?

SLF3,

Correct.

That's why:
  • Boeing changed back to compressed outside air (as on the B707) in around 1999 - ironically EXACTLY when Aerotoxic Syndrome was identified.
  • Everyone wants to fly the 787 in the future.
  • Boeing have record orders - 950?


It's still incredible to hear so called 'experts' say that the main reason for the change is for 'fuel economy etc'.

The absolute reason is to simply not poison the crews and customers; but they obviously can't EVER admit that.....
