Surely because the P-8's are all new builds from scratch at the factory, won't Boeing be fitting them all with the 'Latest and greatest tech' ?
I think two of them are being sourced from used airframes |

Bing,
"...it's hard to develop fatigue cracks in something that isn't being used." Oh I don't know, they found fatigue cracks in Valiant main spars in store that had never been used during the Valiant grounding. |
If they are saying that Max doesn't have pickle forks that's quite a change....P8 etc-military- doesn't matter until wings start coming off ???
|
Different bits, dear chap.
|
I certainly hope so, but having read the "pickle fork" thread and the revelations within, I wouldn't be quite so smug re boeing supplied product information at the moment...

You keep quoting the NG. The P-8 is not an NG. The centre section is completely different. If you care to do some research, available on open source, this is readily apparent. The “pickle fork” is completely different. You need to stop putting false facts on a public forum with wrong information. It’s irresponsible in my opinion, and factually wrong. I think you may be putting folks against the P-8 for no reason at all. |

Curious to know the reason behind not installing a MAD boom ? Especially as the Indian Navy P8’s have them |
