And Airplanes CEO Alan Mulally an announcement on that program could come soon after the applauds Everett workers after 787 enters service in 2008. announcing the launch order for the 787 from All Nippon Airways. Mulally says he sees no reason why At least one Boeing critic thought the next plane up — the a replacement for the 737 won't be replacement for the narrow-body 737 — might be assembled built here, too. in Japan. But it appears the state's $3.2 billion tax-incentive package passed in 2004 has secured more than the 787. Asked in a year-end interview if the 737 replacement would be built here, Mulally responded: "I don't see any reason why not. "I couldn't be more pleased with the response we all have had [from Washington state]. We have so many people that understand the importance of improving our competitiveness," he added. -
A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft
A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft Mark D. Sensmeier* Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona, 86301 Jamshid A. Samareh† NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, 23681 In this paper, results of a study of structural layouts of post-WWII aircraft are presented. This study was undertaken to provide the background information necessary to determine typical layouts, design practices, and industry trends in aircraft structural design. Design decisions are often predicated not on performance-related criteria, but rather on such factors as manufacturability, maintenance access, and of course cost. For this reason, a thorough understanding of current “best practices” in the industry is required as an input for the design optimization process. To determine these best practices and industry trends, a large number of aircraft structural “cutaway” illustrations were analyzed for five different aircraft categories (commercial transport jets, business jets, combat jet aircraft, single- engine propeller aircraft, and twin-engine propeller aircraft). Several aspects of wing design and fuselage design characteristics are presented here for the commercial transport and combat aircraft categories. A great deal of commonality was observed for transport structure designs over a range of eras and manufacturers. A much higher degree of variability in structural designs was observed for the combat aircraft, though some discernable trends were observed as well. Nomenclature Frames = Circumferential fuselage structures which help maintain fuselage shape and prevent skin buckling Longerons = Lengthwise fuselage structures which carry bending loads Ribs = Chordwise wing structures which maintain wing shape, carry shear, and prevent skin buckling Spars = Spanwise wing structures which provide primary wing resistance to aerodynamic bending loads I. -

Case: 1:19-cv-02394 Document #: 109 Filed: 11/15/19 Page 1 of 24 PageID #:2414 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION IN RE THE BOEING COMPANY ) No. 19 CV 2394 AIRCRAFT SECURITIES ) LITIGATION ) Judge John J. Tharp, Jr. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER In this putative class action, five plaintiffs are vying for appointment as Lead Plaintiff and to approve their selection of counsel to represent the class. For the reasons set forth below, the Court appoints the Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi as Lead Plaintiff and approves its selection of the law firm of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP as Lead Counsel. I. BACKGROUND This matter involves securities fraud claims predicated on statements issued by The Boeing Company regarding the safety of its 737 MAX aircraft. In a nutshell, the complaints filed to date allege that during the first part of 2019, Boeing misled investors about the financial prospects for its commercial airplanes business by misstating and concealing information about safety problems with the 737 MAX in the wake of investigations of the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 in October 2018 and of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019. Two class action complaints have been filed. The initial complaint (Case No. 19 CV 2394; the “Seeks” action) was filed on April 9, 2019, by plaintiff Richard Seeks on behalf of a class comprising purchasers of Boeing securities between January 8, 2019 and March 21, 2019. A subsequent complaint was filed by plaintiff Mercer Busch (Case No. 19 CV 3548; the “Busch” action) on May 28, 2019 on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Boeing securities between Case: 1:19-cv-02394 Document #: 109 Filed: 11/15/19 Page 2 of 24 PageID #:2414 January 8, 2019 and May 8, 2019. -
