Two Brindisi aerospace companies
allegedly supplied non-compliant aeronautical components to
Leonardo-Aerostrutture for the production of sectors 44 and 46
of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Brindisi prosecutor's office
says in a new probe unveiled Saturday.
This allegedly led to the creation of aerial parts "with
significantly lower static and stress resistance
characteristics, with impacts on transport safety".
Prosecutors are investigating seven people as well as the two
companies.
Pure titanium was allegedly used to create structural components
of the aircraft, instead of titanium alloy, and the aluminum
alloys used also differed from those expected.
