Rather cockpit crew not aware of the characteristics of modern high tech cockpit windows which are designed to ... what? save some weight?... or is it just costs? ... a crew member had purchased a sunshade online and fitted it to the right-hand sliding window.Reminds me of the reason the Boeing 737 Max 7 and Max 10 still aren't certified for commercial flights. The decades old, perfectly functioning (low tech... a simple switch only) engine inlet de-freezing system became a major flight safety hazard with modern efficient engines that have all kinds of CFRP plastics in the engine cowling which isn't as durable as the time-proven aluminum when accidentally heated for a longer period of time than necessary. |

These modern Boeing 787 jets seem to be faulty by design. There are no other obvious reasons[*]. This almost new plane, owned by Lufthansa, crashed on its nose while parked at the gate. Accident: Lufthansa B789 at Frankfurt on Jun 4th 2026, nose gear collapse at gate [*]I forgot irony tags... |
