Development problems are forcing Boeing to delay until mid-2011 delivery of its first 747-8 freighter to Cargolux. The aircraft maker says a range of issues have forced the adjustment, including “a low-frequency vibration in certain flight conditions and an underperforming aileron actuator.” The company says, “Neither issue requires structural changes to the airplane,” but concedes that “they have led to disruptions to certification testing, which the program was unable to offset within the prior schedule.”
