I worked at Boeing too. I was QA in the Systems Instillation Division on the Boeing 777 assembly line in Everette, WA in from 1997 through1999 then moved to New Hampshire. I ran the QA department where they dropped the empty front and aft sections of the plane shells into our area. The install team installed everything into the plane shell then my QA team inspected each item after it was installed.
And you' re right about the fuel tank. I was a P3 Orion flight engineer in the US Navy for over 20 years. I know airplanes. No way does a fuel tank explode on it's own simply because there's not enough oxygen in the wing tanks to allow for ignition, even if there was an massive electrical spark inside the tank. Without oxygen there is no fire. Period.
Good posts guys, Im in Aviation as well.
1: Seen a few JET A ignitions after incident, but never explosion. What are the chances? (Serious question)
2: Regarding the 777 , is it true the Angle of attack system was not redundant in the aircraft?
Yes, and vulnerable to icing.
But it is "Everett". Kinda just a tad odd that you mispelled it.
Seemed you mised it. Look closer at my reply again.
I haven't lived in that State since 1999. So it's not like I go to Everett daily and see the city limit sign regularly or anything like that. Hope that clears it up.
ok I get it! You have no sense of humor. Fine by me.
