#Boeing 787 Dreamliner troubles – an annotated graphic

After a tweet from Boeing Airplanes drifted through our social media transom earlier today [We’re working closely with @NTSB, our customer & other agencies regarding Monday’s 787 incident in Boston. http://ow.ly/gEtt4 #Boeing], we thought we’d share this infographic about the Dreamliner’s troubled evolution thus far.

It details nine notable incidents thus far, from nose to tail, over the period November 2010-January 2013, with the latest snafu being the fuel leak in Boston yesterday (8 January).

E&T also has a detailed news story today about the Dreamliner’s problems, which is well worth reading to guage the level of support Boeing has from its customers worldwide.

Robot displays emotion with facial expressions… and texture changes July 17, 2018

Electric cars could go the extra mile thanks to new battery tech July 17, 2018
The success of electric car batteries depends on the miles that can be driven on a single charge, but the current crop of lithium-ion batteries are reaching their natural limit in terms of how much charge can be stored in a given space. “We have created a fluorine-based electrolyte to enable a lithium-metal anode, which is known to be notoriously unstable, a […]

Dutch start up Mosa Meat, a spin-off company from Maastricht University, will use the funding to develop an end-to-end process for cultured meat production at significantly reduced cost.

Drones could be piloted with torso movements ‘like really flying’ July 17, 2018
According to the engineers, their research demonstrates that torso motions captured with a body-machine interface are more immersive, intuitive and precise for controlling drones than widely-used joysticks. This approach to drone operation leaves the head and limbs free. This could allow the pilot to gaze around and interact with their surroundings, mimicki […]

Gaming’s golden age: top 10 retro-vintage arcade classics July 17, 2018
If we want to take a lightning run and a complex sequence of jumps through the history of arcade gaming, we need to begin as far back as the 1940s. This is when American businessmen Martin Bromley, Irving Bromberg and James Humpert formed Standard Games (now Sega) in Hawaii and made coin-operated amusement machines for US military bases. It was a series of e […]

Marine energy: fighting the headwind July 17, 2018
In the London-centric UK, the conventional wisdom is that all good things, including technology, start south and migrate northwards. Perhaps this is embedded in our psyche right back from when the Romans, desperate to impose their version of civilisation on the known world, reached the northern extreme of their empire and found barbaric Scots and Picts, buil […]
