Two planes from the American manufacturer suffered damage this week. On Monday, a ship which was to send astronauts to the international station had to postpone its takeoff following an anomaly on a valve.
The days pass and the incidents on Boeing aircraft continue. This Wednesday, May 8, it was a Boeing 787-900, from the company Air France, which made an emergency landing in Iqaliuit in the far north of Canada according to information from Radio-Canada. A burning smell detected in the cabin was the cause of this emergency landing.
On the other side of the globe, in Istanbul, a cargo plane operated by FedEx coming from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport was forced to land without a front wheel. During its descent, the pilot of the aircraft, a Boeing 767, alerted the control tower of a problem opening the landing gear door. According to information provided by the Turkish Minister of Transport, the plane remained on the runway and no person was injured despite the impressive showers of sparks caused by the friction of the fuselage on the tarmac.
The maiden flight of a ship pushed back following an anomaly
Monday May 6, Boeing faced another disappointment. The American manufacturer’s Starliner spacecraft was to, finally and for the first time, take off with astronauts on board, heading for the International Space Station, and thus join the very private club of spaceships that have transported humans.
But regarding two hours before the scheduled launch time, and while the two American astronauts were installed in the capsule, the takeoff was canceled: an anomaly was identified on a valve of the Atlas V rocket which should propel the Starliner capsule in orbit. The first crewed flight of the Boeing spacecraft was finally postponed to May 17, NASA announced on Tuesday, May 7.
