The Boeing 787-10 Has a Problem... #boeing #787

Why can't Boeing sell the 787-10? Since its introduction, its direct rival has outsold it by a count of nearly 4:1, so what's going on? Let me explain...

[gramateur]

The fact that you talked to the VP of marketing and not engineering is just one of Boeing’s many problems.

[markmierau]

Boeing's nonexistent quality control is their biggest problem.

[PedroDeBandit]

They have a plan...

Less bolts will make the plane lighter and able to fly further.

[danielpearson]

At this point I don't think Boeing could build a trouble free safe paper plane

[ronparrish]

Nothing wrong with the 787 if you're just looking for a 767 replacement

[TheDetroitSlayer]

They're done. They've built a reputation for junk since the early 2000s. My grandfather was an engineer for Boeing and was proud to be one. I'm not sure if he'd feel the same today...

[sosalish]

Boeing has actually fixed this wing shudder problem by uploading a software patch that senses the vibration and then flies the plane directly into the ground.

[mesere]

Buying anything from Boeing is a gamble the engineers had 1% pay rises over the last 10 years the management cares about accounting numbers only “just ship it” is the motto no matter the build quality

[davidstager]

Lower development costs to line some paper pusher’s pockets.Boeing has lists its reputation by cutting corners.Or as the crooked executives say cost cutting.

[maverickhenderson]

The 787 itself does not directly rival the A350. The 787-10 to be exact was not designed to have the range of the A350-900 or -1000 for that fact. It was designed more for shorter legs with the ability to carry more people. It wasn’t EVER designed to go head up with the A350-900.

[magnus]

Who in the heck is running Boeing these days? Their bean-counter approach to design is going to be the death of the company. Their unwillingness to do clean sheet designs messes them up over and over again

[es-brck]

Boeing should stop milking and bastardizing the 737 and come up with an updated design for the current year.

[michaelpascual]

From "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going" to "If it's a Boeing, I'm not going."

[Wilson]

I think you just gave us the answer the problem is the wings that was a cost-cutting measure

[uncaringbear]

It's just another end result of Boeing's enshittification.

[Mimi_L.]

Boeing never learns from their flying coffins Boeing 737 Max (maximum fatality) - design shortcuts will bite you back soon.

[jocax]

You spoke to a McDonnell Douglas marketing VP.
I don’t know where this Boeing nonsense comes from, that engineering-run, quality focused company died years ago.

[jantjarks]

Why can't Boeing?

Well, ask Calhoun.

[benhart]

The advantage of the 787-10 is its phenomenal seat mile fuel burn. The base 787 is smaller and lighter than the a350, so the stretch is able to meet the same size without all the extra structural weight to support the extra fuel. There are a lot of medium and shorter end of long haul routes the 787-10 has more than enough range to cover and does so very economically. If you need more range, Boeing has the 777-8 coming soon. But again, the operating economics aren’t quite as good.

[chunjiang]

It's not just the 787-10 with a problem, the entirety of Boeing has a problem.
