Boeing Company (BA) Quote

Note the four conditions in which the RAT is automatically deployed - note condition three - electrical failure:



Also, from other videos and text, the 787 has automatic configuration control. It will not allow the pilots to take off unless the flaps and slats are properly set for the takeoff conditions (weight, runway length, air density/temp) AND the system will not allow the pilot(s) to retract flaps manually at takeoff with~OUTT the gear already being stowed first AND the flight conditions (forward speed, climb/sink rate, AOA, etc.) being correct for that post-takeoff climb~OUTT. For the Air India 787 the proper configuration is 5 degrees flaps and LE slats deployed, so on the grainy video it is not possible to determine if the flaps were 5 degrees deployed or fully retracted. As just stated, the 787 autoconfiguration software will not allow a takeoff roll unless the proper configuration for that flight is detected AND it will not let the pilot manually retract flaps unless the measured flight parameters allow it and it would be AFTER gear is stowed. Any attempt to do so manually produces impossible-to-ignore multiple bright REDD lights and master alarm lights on the cockpit console and ear-splitting audio warning tones and annunciators.

Most recent commentators have both visually and audibly identified RAT deployment on the Air India 787 after lift off. Again, there are four conditions where the RAT is automatically deployed - the third one is electrical failure to the cockpit and the other three are combination hydraulic failures either in conjunction with electrical failure (such as to the four electric hydraulic pumps - but not the two engine-driven hydraulic pump) or both hydraulic and electrical failure secondary to dual engine failures.

Note from video above that the center hydraulic system REQUIRES electric pump function to provide hydraulics to, among other things, the gear retraction. Engine hydraulics only are claimed to be unable to effect gear retraction, so an electrical failure could result in a lack of center hydraulic system pressure and an inability to retract the gear according to these claims.

Some related comments:




This is info from internet sources, so take that into CONsideration. Butt, if true, it suggests that the configuration (slats and 5 degree flaps deployed) was correct and a post-liftoff retraction of flaps is very unlikely - as the software makes it very hard and absolutely intentional for a manual command to retract flaps before gear is up and unless the sensed flight regime is within the permitted envelope.

This is just grist for hypotheses and is, as always, subject to change as more information becomes available.

There is a question that I have nott seen answered: can an electrical failure disrupt engine controls so that, e.g., the engines retard to idle uncommanded from the cockpit. Anybuddy know that answer? If it can, then that is another item that is at least CONsistent with the primary fault being electrical. Shirley, some blowhard retired mechanic can answer this question. Or mebbe Spirit did the wiring on this aircraft and chaffing of wires resulting in shorts and/or grounds because ... well ... it can't be Boeing's fault because its manufacturing is, as we know, flawless, especially with regard to electric wiring and wiring harnesses both of which are unchaffable if done by Boeing because Boeing never makes mistakes..

Accidents are impossible until they happen. This is why even top notch nuclear engineers did not believe the RBMK reactor design could ever explode (at least from a nuclear reaction; hydrogen explosions were still thought possible); it was thought physically impossible, until it happened. And the test-related electrical failure of the Reactor 4 disaster at Chernobyl was the primary cause of that catastrophe.

https://www.reddit.com/r/chernobyl/comments/mflxy2/why_did_the_engineers_believe_it_was_impossible/

Butt then again, mebbe the Soviet Union's Ministry of Energy and Electrification subbed ~OUTT the operator management of the test to Spirit and they wronGGGly installed the reactor door plug.

And remember, when you absolutely, positively must reject any hypothesis that may lead to an error by Boeing, just shout "Spirit did it!" numerous times and shake your fist while waving your other hand and possibly a foot also.

Prolly eventually the cause of the AI crash will be explained, butt right now the best available are hypotheses that are nott inCONsistent with the data (incl. the observations cited in the videos above).

Electrical services on the Air India flight that crashed with 242 passengers onboard were not working hours beforehand, it has been claimed.

A passenger on an earlier flight, named on social media as Akash Vatsa, posted videos showing facilities such as air-conditioning, service buttons and television touch screens not responding when he tried to operate them.

He can be heard saying in the clip: “Nothing is working, nothing, not even the light.”

Support at $180s load up there have patience let it come in

We'll have to wait for the FDR and CVR to be recovered and analyzed before we truly know what happened to this 787 aircraft.

But simply looking at the video of the takeoff? It certainly looks as if there were no flaps extended. Both in the video and still shots I have seen, I do not see any flaps extended.

As the aircraft lifted off and proceeded, you can see the flight path droop and then the nose lift - as if the pilot was trying to regain the altitude lost. This to me signifies either a loss of thrust from the engines, or not enough lift being generated by the wing. If the flaps were not extended, that would be the cause - certainly at the full passenger and fuel load it apparently carried. But they would have had a take-off configuration alarm blaring during the take-off roll. Doesn't make sense.

Now, if they lifted off and the pilot flying called for the landing gear retraction....and the first officer retracted the flaps in error? THAT would do it too. But I really do not see any visual evidence of the flaps ever being out.

We'll know exactly what caused it - eventually.

If it was the flaps not being out, someone with the proper equipment to look closely at the video will be able to immediately tell.

"Problem Solved? Boeing Redesigns 777X Thrust Links"

"Boeing has reportedly redesigned the engine thrust links for its long-delayed Boeing 777X widebody aircraft. According to a report by Aviation Week, the American aircraft manufacturer plans to install them later this summer.

Thrust links transfer loads between the engine and the wing structure. The redesigned thrust links will address a fatigue issue in the load-bearing components, which had previously caused a four-month delay in certification testing."

Boeing has since addressed the issue and resumed certification flights in mid-January 2025. According to the new report by Aviation Week, the plane maker now plans to install redesigned thrust links as part of a broader set of design improvements for the 777X. Initially planned for certification in 2020, the Boeing 777X was intended to be the next generation of the popular 777 widebody aircraft, with improvements in efficiency, range, and passenger comfort.

However, the Boeing 777X certification has faced multiple delays due to various technical challenges encountered during testing. One of the major setbacks occurred in 2020 when an “uncommanded pitch event” caused the aircraft’s nose to rise unexpectedly without pilot input, resulting in years of delays. More issues emerged in mid-August 2024, when thrust link failures were discovered during flight testing, halting the certification process once again. These delays were further worsened by a labor strike later that year.

Notably, Lufthansa is expected to be the first airline in the world to receive the 777X once it completes certification with both the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), according to Kelly Ortberg, president and CEO of Boeing. The Boeing 777X family includes the 777-8, 777-8F (freighter), and 777-9 variants. Lufthansa has ordered 20 of the Boeing 777-9 and seven Boeing 777-8F aircraft for its cargo division, Lufthansa Cargo."

WASHINGTON, May 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it has struck a deal in principle with Boeing(BA) to allow it to avoid prosecution in a fraud case stemming from two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes that killed 346 people.

The agreement allows Boeing(BA) to avoid being branded a convicted felon and is a blow to families who lost relatives in the crashes and had pressed prosecutors to take the U.S. planemaker to trial.

Boeing (BA) has agreed to pay an additional $444.5 million into a crash victims' fund that would be divided evenly per crash victim on top of an additional $243.6 million fine.

The Justice Department expects to file the written agreement with Boeing(BA) by the end of next week.

Nope. Boeing is going up and - barring some sort of incident with an aircraft - will continue to rise from here. Oh, I'm sure there will be down periods here and there. But for the most part, my opinion is that BA will be much higher in the coming years, than it is now.

Boeing is not just about civilian aircraft. It has huge contracts with the government as a defense contractor. The government will make sure BA sticks around.

U.S. President Donald Trump, Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg attend a signing ceremony in Doha, Qatar, on May 14, 2025.

Boeing secured an agreement to sell Qatar Airways up to 210 aircraft.
Qatar Airways also signed an agreement with GE Aerospace for more than 400 engines to power the Boeing planes.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg appeared alongside President Donald Trump in Doha for a signing ceremony on the deal for the 787 Dreamliner and 777X planes.
The deal could draw more scrutiny toward President Donald Trump's defense of Qatar's offer to gift the U.S. a luxury 747 jet that will act as the new Air Force One.

Boeing and Qatar Airways on Wednesday announced a deal for the Middle Eastern airline to buy up to 210 jets, notching the U.S. planemaker's largest-ever order of widebody aircraft.

The order — the biggest in Qatar Airways' history — includes 130 of Boeing's 787 Dreamliners and 30 of its much-delayed 777-9s, with options for up to 50 more planes, the companies said in a press release.

Qatar Airways also signed an agreement with GE Aerospace for more than 400 engines to power the Boeing planes, those companies said in another joint release.

The purchase of widebody aircraft engines is the largest in GE Aerospace's history, according to the release.

Boeing and Qatar Airways struck the agreement during President Donald Trump's state visit with the emir of Qatar, part of the president's four-day tour of the Middle East.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg appeared alongside Trump at the Amiri Diwan in Doha for the signing ceremony.

"This is a critical next step for Qatar Airways on our path as we invest in the cleanest, youngest and most efficient fleet in global aviation," Qatar Airways CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer said in a statement. "This is so we can meet the strong demand in the airline as we seamlessly connect passengers to the world better than anyone."

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope said the "record-breaking order" with Qatar Airways "solidifies their future fleet with our market-leading widebody airplane family at its center."

The 426-seat, twin-engine 777-9 is part of Boeing's 777X series, which has yet to produce any deliveries and has still not been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The White House earlier Wednesday valued the plane deal at $96 billion, and said it will support 154,000 U.S. jobs annually and more than one million domestic jobs in total.

Boeing and Qatar Airways, however, said the deal will result in roughly 400,000 jobs in the U.S.

Boeing's website says it currently employs around 170,000 people globally.

"It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing," Trump said after Ortberg signed the agreement at the Amiri Diwan.

The deal could be a boon for Boeing, which has not posted a profit since 2018.

The plane maker has been beset by major safety concerns, manufacturing defects, cost overruns and a nearly two-month-long machinist strike last year.

Boeing Stock Glides Lower on China Delivery Halt
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 15, 2025

🔸 China suspended jet deliveries from Boeing amid a trade war with the U.S.

🔸 BA is down over 8% since the start of April

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) is pumping the breaks on its recent rally. The security was last seen down 1.8% at $156.50, after Bloomberg reported that China ordered carriers to suspend jet deliveries amid the trade war with the U.S. The country's top three airliners, Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines, had planned to take delivery of a combined total of 179 Boeing planes in the next two years.

It's worth noting that Morgan Stanley stated there was minimal downside risk from China's delivery halt. The country only makes up 6% of total Boeing deliveries, compared to 10 years ago when it was easily 20% on any given year.

During this past month's tariff-related volatility, Boeing stock saw a sharp selloff followed by an extended bounce starting April 7. Familiar pressure at the $160 level seems to have kept the rally in check, however. The equity is historically an April underperformer, down 8.5% since the start of the month, and also carrying an 11.9% year-to-date deficit.

Calls have been more popular than usual in the options pits. BA's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.02 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than 84% of readings from the past year. Should some of this optimism start to unwind, it could provide further headwinds.

Don't Bet on a Boeing (BA) Stock Rebound Just Yet
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 2, 2025

• Boeing stock is one of the worst to own in April, historically

• The company reportedly made "sweeping changes" after a rough few years

Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) has seen no shortage of unpleasant headlines this past year, though the airplane manufacturer scored a contract to build the U.S. Air Force's latest fighter jet. Today, CEO Kelly Ortberg, per a written testimony seen by Reuters, will tell the Senate Commerce Committee that the company "made serious missteps in recent years" but enacted "sweeping changes to the people, processes, and overall structure."

For Boeing stock to make a meaningful rebound, however, it will also have to battle a period of weak seasonality. The equity is the only aerospace name on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of worst S&P 500 Index (SPX) stocks to own in April. According to White's data, the shares finished April lower seven out of 10 times in the last decade, averaging a 4.5% loss.

From its current perch at $170.22, a similar move would put the equity just above $162. Though Boeing Stock is currently on track to snap a three-day losing streak, it carries a 10% year-over-year deficit.



An unwinding of optimism from bullish options traders could provide headwinds as well. BA's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.12 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than 96% of readings from the past year.

Don't Expect Boeing (NYSE:BA) Stock to Bounce Back in March
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | February 28, 2025

• Boeing has finished March lower in seven of the past 10 years

• An unwinding of optimism could pressure BA lower

It's no secret that Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) has struggled over the past year due to incidents with its commercial and defense units, as well as a workers' strike. While the stock saw a brief rally after the company's most recent quarterly report, investors should not bet on a recovery just yet, as it appeared on a list of 25 worst S&P 500 Index (SPX) names to own in March.

According Schaeffer’s Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, BA averaged a 5% loss in March over the last decade, settling higher only three times during that period. The stock was last seen up 1.3% to trade at $175.27, indicating a drop of similar magnitude would place it closer to the $166 level.



Boeing stock carries a 15.2% year-over-year deficit, and has struggled to close above the $188 level despite several attempts since January. The security is today pacing for its fifth-straight close below the 20-day moving average, a trendline that has alternated between support and resistance for the past 12 months.



Options bulls aren't deterred by Boeing's recent woes, however. This is per BA's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.14 over at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which stands higher than 98% of annual readings. An unwinding of this optimism could fuel additional headwinds.

Meanwhile, short sellers are firmly in control, despite short interest falling 16.6% in the last two reporting periods. The 19.18 million shares sold short now make up a massive 214.7% of the stock's available float.

Boeing's Stephanie Pope out as chief operating officer, still head of commercial planes arm

SEATTLE (Reuters) -Boeing said on Tuesday that Stephanie Pope was no longer the planemaker's chief operating officer as of Feb. 19, but she is continuing to serve as the head of its commercial airplanes business.

The company does not plan to fill the chief operating officer position, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly.

Pope was appointed to the newly created role of chief operating officer in December 2023, after then-CEO David Calhoun named her as his choice to succeed him.

After a mid-air panel blowout on a nearly new 737 MAX jet in January 2024, Pope was also named the head of Boeing (NYSE:BA) Commercial Airplanes.

The accident put renewed focus on production quality problems in the division and contributed to Calhoun's exit from the company. In August, Kelly Ortberg became Boeing's new chief executive.

Avolon CEO Andy Cronin said this month the aircraft lessor, a major Boeing customer, was "really encouraged by what we are seeing" at the company after touring production facilities in Seattle in January.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) Stock Surges Despite Dismal Quarterly Results
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | January 28, 2025

• The company also reported its biggest annual loss since 2020

• Boeing plans to hike production and deliveries of its 737 aircraft

Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) stock is on the rise after the company's recovery plan, despite steeper-than-expected losses for the fourth quarter, a revenue miss, and its biggest annual loss since 2020. The company noted incidents with its commercial and defense units, as well as last year's workers' strike, but has plans to gradually increase production and deliveries of its 737 aircraft. The aerospace giant also confirmed it is working to speed up the delivery of two Air Force One aircrafts.

BA is up 4.3% to trade at $182.74 at last glance, eyeing its biggest single-day percentage gain in over a year as it chips away at its 10.5% year-over-year deficit. The stock, which is among Schaffer's top picks for 2025, surged to its highest level since August right out of the gate, and earlier this month staged bounced off its ascending 40-day moving average.

Options traders have been more bullish than usual over the past 10 weeks. This is per BA's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 1.80 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which ranks in the 80th percentile of its annual range, showcasing a consistent preference for calls over puts.

Drilling down to today's options activity, 59,000 calls and 27,000 puts have already been traded, which is five times the intraday average volume. The most popular contract is the weekly 1/31 185-strike call, where positions are being opened.
