Thursday, January 21, Register now. Related Content. This is the Amazon exec who orchestrated , hires in 10 months. It's all about the data at Amazon — even when it comes to hiring. The current fuselage assembly is still automated and innovative, and retains many elements of FAUB, but a different robot built by ElcctroImpact in Everett, now traverses the outside to drill, insert and seal, while workers now finish the fasteners from inside.
Boeing noted there was no change in total workforce. The Airbus fuselage lines also use the ElecrtroImpact system, in addition to other robots at other stages of assembly. Boeing also uses different automated methods for those other stages. Seattle Times: What Boeing will certainly lose by parceling out the ADC work is a centralized location where the top machinists and engineers inside Commercial Airplanes work together on innovative hands-on technology.
It was then used for commercial applications of composite materials and x. The commercial composites work had been reduced to 30 people, as the development activity has been reduced and shifted elsewhere. There is not a compelling reason to sustain it at that facility at present. As other publications have noted, composites are now considered mainstream rather than exotic or developmental.
Boeing has other facilities and suppliers that routinely produce composite materials and parts. They have capability and facilities elsewhere now to continue research and development.
Boeing wants to replace workers. Other manufacturers go for assisting their workforce with robots. You may be confusing various items of reusable equipment, and that some of the technology I being used in assembly if I understand correctly, with the specific tool that did not work out.
Pedro, they tried, which is what pontificators want them to do with the far larger investment of a new airplane design. Maybe its time for Boeing to go private with Tesla founder Elon Musk leading a group investors With his vision he can save the company from itself Boeing is still trying to sell a Ford Mustang with a new engine e. Boeing is technically insolvent. In contrast, SpaceX is a magnificent contribution to space technology.
I doubt Musk would be interested in aviation, because it would conflict with the hype of his hyperloop project no pun intended. And yet, both aviation and the hyperloop seek to propel tubular vehicles at high speed through a low-pressure environment…but aviation has the advantage of not-requiring route-specific track infrastructure on the ground.
Where is the money going to come from: barely will BA survive in current market, handouts from DoD maybe. For the Boeing redid some composite structures work from B-2 days, to make sure that export of technology rules would not be applied, even though it was by then old technology. Administered by constipated bureaucrats IME. Remember how Obama saved the US auto industry in Or less likely perhaps Boeing will try to issue convertible bonds with an attractive coupon rate Even less likely: if Musk or Besos, who knows?
They are not going to get any public money that does not have conditions now and we have seen how they respond. But why should gvmt relaunch BCA? Motor industry they may have thought was too many workers, too long a national pride, besides it was an actual industry as opposed to the stunted remainder.
US gvmt can not organise to onshore as far as I know vital medical manufacturing, reclaim anything of all the industrial base they offloaded to first Japan, then Sth K, then China, then…. BA is pretty much all that is left of commercial plane making, they, the money and the power people, let the rest of the industry go. Under such circumstances, when rationale takes a back seat to sentiment, anything is possible. Plus, Boeing is a big employer, and used to be an export champion in the US.
And the yanks would shudder at the thought of conceding passenger airliner manufacturing defeat to the Europeans and Chinese if BCA were just allowed to bite the dust. On the other hand, sometimes big brands are just allowed to go belly-up. Enron comes to mind. Who knows what Biden will do? The public money debate is an invention of the commenters here. This follows the pattern of many similar criticisms here. Post something that is speculation, or otherwise untrue, and then criticize it as if it were true.
I described those methods earlier, and what they represent. Rob Scott instructed you on Jan. You are flagrantly ignoring this directive. In view of recent displays of insubordination in the US, and the current tense situation there, it is highly inappropriate for you to be engaging in such recalcitrant behavior on a public forum. Please show restraint and proper decorum!
How much does his car production depend on subsidies, whether direct or indirect? Is he using new investor funds to finance production instead of new development? What is his debt? Musk is good at identifying and stepping into technologies that are primed for advancement, then pushing them into commercialization.
In aviation, the manufacturers are already exploiting the available technologies to a large degree. So there is not the same potential for him to step in and rapidly advance. Hence his lack of interest in aviation. Space X was launched on that.
It worked. Keep in mind that politicians, and corporate PR types, like buildings because sucker voters can grasp what they are. Note that taxpayer funded buildings have to be more open, unless they do military work, whereas private companies can work in secret by their own choicer — Boeing in Anacortes and Cessna for example.
Existence of the Mustang VLJ project was only revealed when it had to be towed out of a hanger in order to taxi test it. Hopefully you learned a lesson from [edited as a violation of Reader Comment rules] WA ignoring you.
Do read the dismal history of project failures, which with private ownership just cost shareholders but with government cost taxpayers. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy as I often do. Another problem is voters do not understand economics, despite performing it most days of their life. I could quote many cases of government-propped up businesses that failed, such as Skeena Cellulose despite the management expertise of Donald Watson who had been president of Pacific Western Airlines.
And there is the phenomenon of government-subsidization attracting a lower quality of business people, some just floating ideas to get money. And the phenomenon of some potential investors wanting government involvement, because: — so government does not turn to working against them. Whose market for refined products would be east Asia. To his credit Black was upfront about not having funds to build the plant, he would spend much of his modest fortune to get the plans through the environmental approval state.
Reminds me of Target Stores employees.. Leadership is key, obviously lacking in Target Stores. Perhaps in part a failure to recognize higher risk due attractiveness of the volume of opportunity for fraud.
Otherwise lagging in ensuring quality, whereas one state — I want to say Michigan, overhauled its election system before Interesting back story on a key cause of Target failing in Canada. To accommodate currency exchange needs, it decided to develop new software. So it had considerable difficulty restocking shelves. Some warehouse workers took to opening boxes of ten of a product and cannibalizing them to have the 12 in a box that the computer system wanted to have before putting on shelf. Employee motivation for quality was lacking, consistent with ignoring security flags elsewhere.
The security problem was not specific to Canada. Read speeches by Target executives and an experienced person will see a bureaucracy that is focussed on the wrong things. And people being aware helps, one bank in the Midwest wondered why it now had so many customers from WA state.
