  • Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with General Electric engines

    Edit: wowsers, apparently I made a controversial comment. Let me provide the context that I based my comment on. From the guardian article:

    "According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.

    The initial report did not recommend action against Boeing, who manufactured the 787-8 Dreamliner, or General Electric who manufactured the engines."
