A new federal probe revolves around the discovery that documentation certifying the authenticity of steel in some Boeing planes was falsified.
The Federal Aviation Administration has opened yet another investigation into Boeing , this one centered around concerns that counterfeit titanium may have been installed in some of the aviation giant’s planes. Boeing reportedly admitted to the federal agency that some components in their planes were sold to their supplier using fake documentation that attested to the authenticity of the metal, according to the New York Times Friday.
For the 737 Max and the A220, the affected parts include a heat shield that protects a component, which connects a jet’s engine to the frame, from extreme heat. Boeing isn’t the only company that is afflicted with the problem. The Times reports that European airplane maker Airbus is also dealing with the issue. Gizmodo reached out to Boeing and the FAA for comment and will update this story if they respond.
