engine bleed air, bypass air engine bleed air is taken from within the engine compressor, between a pair of compressor stages and used to supply air to the cabin - it never enters the combustion stage of the engine, thus may be said to bypass it, but is never used to provide thrust. "True" bypass air is that which is pushed b the fan around the engine core, never being compressed and not used to supply the cabin, on a modern engine like the CFM56 family the majority of the engine thrust comes from this air.

Indeed so... But also note: Aerotoxic syndrome wrote: Engine bearing seals are installed to ensure that critical engine bearings are continuously lubricated, and to prevent engine oil from leaking into the compressed air stream. Engine seals will leak a small amount of oil as a function of the seal design. This is known as the permissible oil leak rate. Fly safe and healthy??

The "good old" HS146 was infamous for this rather indelicate aroma that would percolate into the cabin shortly after take-off. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Both Airbus and Boeing moved to using electrically powered aircon, for much cleaner air, for their later aircraft.As far as I know, it was just Boeing which abstained from using bleed air with the 787. Airbus did not take the risk to replace a well-tried pneumatic system with an all-electric one for the A350. Boeing did, which later led to serious problems that delayed type certification and deliveries. |

Undoubtedly Boeing's fault for not having full self flying beta. https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/476745 |

Not just Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. ... https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2025/03/13/over-500-boeing-787-with-faulty-parts-cleared-audits/ Thanks for that... Another ouch! So... From my reading... Fraudulently faulty parts made, tick-box certification with no physical checks, those parts used on over 477 of the the Boeing 787, possibly more to be found... The fraudulent parts are used to hold the cabin floor in place and may well fail with a heavy landing... ... In ya go in through the passenger doors... Out ya come spaghettified out through the cargo door... Fly safe? Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Fraudulently faulty parts made, tick-box certification with no physical checksIsn't the fiduciary duty to the shareholder to make the most money ANY way wonderful? |

The question is... Whose shareholders benefit from fraudulently faulty parts? Seems it's not Boeing's shareholders.Fraudulently faulty parts made, tick-box certification with no physical checksIsn't the fiduciary duty to the shareholder to make the most money ANY way wonderful? Believe the paperwork of certification... [...] None of these audits included physical inspection of the floor fittings, which serve as structural elements in the aircraft.[...] |

Boeing lost trust of Americans, needs strict oversight, US official says WASHINGTON/SEATTLE, March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. planemaker Boeing(BA.N) lost its way and also lost the trust of the American people after a January 2024 mid-air emergency involving a new Boeing 737 MAX and two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday. |

Boeing's Starliner future uncertain as NASA weighs next steps Fix testing to stretch into the summer. When will aerospace giant decide enough is enough? More than six months later, the future of Starliner is unclear. During the post-splashdown news conference for Crew-9, the manager of NASA's commercial crew program, Steve Stich, said that Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, remained "committed to Starliner." However, longstanding problems dog the project. |
