Aggiornamenti ed affinamenti aerodinamici per l'A350: si va dal design delle winglet, passano per quello del punto d'attacco del pilone motore, alle "canoe" dei flap. 

 

Il carrello frontale è quello del 350-1000, per garantire un peso al decollo superiore, mentre il carrello principale ha ricevuto aggiornamenti ad alcune componenti per supportare meglio le sollecitazioni a fatica. 

 

Alleggerimenti vari poi, sostituendo alcune componenti metalliche con parti in carbonio o realizzate in fibra di carbonio rinforzata con polimero.

[...] Qatar's national carrier has grounded 20 of its 53 A350s, saying it is acting on orders from its local regulator, until reasons for what witnesses describe as the blistered and pock-marked appearance of some of its A350s can be confirmed. 

 

Airbus says there is no risk to the A350's safety - a point echoed by the other airlines, which have not grounded any jets and describe the issue as "cosmetic." 

 

The planemaker said in response to queries from Reuters there had been some problems with "early surface wear" that in some cases had made visible a sub-layer of mesh designed to absorb lightning, which it is working to fix. 

 Three people with direct knowledge of the situation said that at Qatar Airways and at least one other airline the mesh had in some instances itself developed gaps, leaving the carbon-fibre fuselage exposed to possible weather or other damage. [...]

Sembra ci sia qualcosina da sistemare su alcuni A350, prima che Zeus se la prenda con loro... 😅

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued a proposed airworthiness directive (AD) that relates to the Expanded Copper Foil (ECF) on 13 Airbus A350s. The regulator has preliminarily warned that the material that offers lighting protection may have not been installed properly on these widebodies’ wing covers.

Intanto aumentano i veicoli a terra, vista la poca esperienza con i materiali usati, è comprensibile la paura delle compagnie

[...] In an interview with Washington Post, Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said that European planemaker destroyed its business relationship with the carrier and it would be difficult to repair the frayed relationship with Airbus.

 

“With Airbus, the damage is very severe. I don’t know how we will be able to work with them again,” he added.

 

Qatar Airways is one of Airbus’ largest customers, but the two are now in a severe dispute over paint and surface defects on the jets, forcing the Qatari carrier to ground at least 21 of its 53 Airbus A350s. [...]

Anche il 787 ha un problema simile.

E anche in questo caso, non comporta un problema di aeronavigabilità.

 

Nel frattempo, gli hanno cancellato, la consegna di 50 A321Neo.

Non una cosa simpatica, oltre a perdere gli ordini, s'innesca un danno d'immagine di cui avrebbero fatto volentieri a meno
