Boeing is resuming flight tests of the 767-200SF special freighter in Seattle, Wash., after a two-month delay caused by the recently settled machinists strike. The conversion is being developed with Alenia Aeronavali under an exclusive licensing agreement signed in October 2003, but has been hampered by a series of engineering hurdles and is running more than a year late.
Boeing acknowledges that the non-conforming ‘nutplate’ issue dogging the 737 is also impacting the 747, 767 and 777 production lines, some of which incorporated the faulty units as far back as September 2007. The issue is further delaying Boeing’s recovery from the 57-day long machinists’ strike, which has already led to a 10-week delay to deliveries of all models and pushed back first flight of the 787 into 2009.
Space industry executives are calling on President-elect Barack Obama’s new administration to establish a “clear and robust national space policy” as a top priority to help the U.S. compete globally against growing international commercial and military space capabilities.
