Federal officials have appointed a group of experts to examine safety practices at Boeing, including an aerospace engineer whose sister was killed in one of the crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jets.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the panel includes representatives from NASA, airlines and airline unions. –
Among the panel members named Thursday is Javier de Luis, a lecturer in aeronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His sister, Graziella de Luis Ponce, was a passenger on the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Max that crashed in March 2019. “The fact that this airplane was allowed to fly with a system, that if one sensor failed would kill everybody on board — not once but twice — is a monumental failure not on Ethiopian but on Boeing and the FAA,” de Luis. “An airplane should not fall out of the sky because one sensor fails. End of story.”
Boeing Co., which is based in Arlington, Virginia, said it had no comment on the formation of the safety panel.
