  • Pretty much yes. Proper documentation is important for safety, but calling the itself titanium fake is incredibly dishonest.

    The rest of the headline doesn’t fair any better.

    The planes that included components made with the material were… Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets

    Headline only mentions one of the involved manufacturers, misrepresenting it as a boeing problem because they know what will drive clicks.


  • The issue is not that the parts aren’t titanium, its that there isn’t a paper trail documenting the titanium.

    This is an issue, because improperly forged titanium can have issues that makes it unsuitably weak for its intended purpose. Having documentation showing where the materials came from, when it was inspected for defects and when it was manufactured is critical for safety.

    United flight 232 had an engine explode in part due to defective titanium. This is a real safety concern.

    Though the headline says boeing, the article mentions these undocumented parts being found in airbus planes as well. Its an industry problem, not a Boeing specific one.
