Boeing remains on track to begin assembly of the first 737 MAX in 2015, by completing firm configuration for the initial 737-8 variant on schedule earlier this month. The U.S. manufacturer says the milestone “marks completion of the major trade studies that define the capabilities of the 737 MAX family,” and clears the way for the start of detailed design. Firm configuration essentially locks down the overall design, which allows engineers to begin the process of detailing features of the aircraft for release to manufacture.
Investigators looking into the emergency beacon fire which damaged an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 on July 12 are focusing on whether a pinched wire in the unit could have sparked a short circuit, igniting the battery. The new suspect in the search for a cause of the fire, which erupted in one of the 787’s emergency locator transmitters (ELT) while the aircraft was parked at London Heathrow Airport, emerged from forensic analysis of the Honeywell-built unit by the U.K. Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB).
