What is China's role? 'F.A.A. Investigating How Questionable Titanium Got Into Boeing and Airbus Jets', The material, which was purchased from a little-known Chinese company,
was sold with falsified documents and used in parts that went into jets from both manufacturers.' Is there a larger role? FAA must tell us FAST...
Some recently manufactured Boeing and Airbus jets have components made from titanium that was sold using fake documentation verifying the material’s authenticity, according to a supplier for the plane makers, raising concerns about the structural integrity of those airliners.
The falsified documents are being investigated by Spirit AeroSystems, which supplies fuselages for Boeing and wings for Airbus, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration. The investigation comes after a parts supplier found small holes in the material from corrosion.
In a statement, the F.A.A. said it was investigating the scope of the problem and trying to determine the short- and long-term safety implications to planes that were made using the parts. It is unclear how many planes have parts made with the questionable material.
“Boeing reported a voluntary disclosure to the F.A.A. regarding procurement of material through a distributor who may have falsified or provided incorrect records,” the statement said. “Boeing issued a bulletin outlining ways suppliers should remain alert to the potential of falsified records.”
The use of potentially fake titanium, which has not been previously reported, threatens to extend the industry’s problems beyond Boeing to Airbus, its European competitor. The planes that included components made with the material were built between 2019 and 2023, among them some Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. It is not clear how many of those planes are in service or which airlines own them.
Spirit is trying to determine where the titanium came from, whether it meets proper standards despite its phony documentation, and whether the parts made from the material are structurally sound enough to hold up through the projected life spans of the jets, company officials said. Spirit said it was trying to determine the most efficient way to remove and replace the affected parts if that ended up being necessary.
“This is about documents that have been falsified, forged and counterfeited,” said Joe Buccino, a Spirit spokesman. “Once we realized the counterfeit titanium made its way into the supply chain, we immediately contained all suspected parts to determine the scope of the issues.”
The issue appears to date to 2019 when a Turkish material supplier, Turkish Aerospace Industries, purchased a batch of titanium from a supplier in China, according to the people familiar with the issue. The Turkish company then sold that titanium to several companies that make aircraft parts, and those parts made their way to Spirit, which used them in Boeing and Airbus planes.

Hmm. Let me see, the WEF-ers want us eating bugs, and now we have chickens and cows being destroyed because of fake false positive PCR tests. The WEF-ers want us to not fly much due to "climate change", and we now have metal issues that can be traced back to 2019, when the fake pandemic was about to be inflicted as a power grab by WEF-er types. What better way to curb flying than by creating doubt in passengers' minds that the planes they are flying are not air worthy. [I'm not saying that the planes don't have issues. Rather, I am saying if you want to sabotage the airline industry for real, messing with its basic structural components would be a way to go.] It can't be a coincidence that the things that now crop up as bad are helping to advance WEF goals one way or another.
The question is how was Turdo connected to this? everything this boy king asswipe ever touched has turned into a combinative bird sh*t/turdo sh*t mess without exception.
Look at this comment by the man listed.
"I read articles that report Ontario, B.C. and Alberta need to import power, due to really cold or really hot weather. Tell me how our electrical grid’s going to handle new EVs. Plus all the people coming to Canada.

A pea brain enviro whacko fake minister named Guilbeault who thinks the planet is melting ought to meet with Greta Stunnedburg and devise a solution for how the mass importation and open borders are causing problems that must be addressed in the future.
Maybe get together with the turdo and figure out to amaze us all by their abilities to fart in a river and float upstream in the bubble. BTW, what happened to "bicycle David the brainless bigot?
A more stupified piece of excremental combinative collective mixture of these four would be but a nightmare come true. Sh*t for brains is putting it mildly.
