As also Air India plane It was related to London and 242 people occurred on Thursday after the takeoff in Western India Boiling 787 Dreamliner.
This noted the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner catastrophe and became the most deadly plane crash over the years.
That’s what to know:
What is the plane?
The aircraft was Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. It is a popular jet with a double passage used for longer routes.
The first flight of this aircraft was in December 2013 and it was handed over to Air India in January 2014, Cirium’s aviation firm reports.
As of Thursday, Air India had 34 of them, including this aircraft, and it planned to order at least 20 more, Cirium said. The airline creates its fleet with modern planes with both Boeing and Airbus competitor, as well as installs more luxurious cabins.
More than 1100 dreams fly worldwide.
What happened in this flight?
Previous data show that the plane’s signal was lost at 13:38 local time, less than a minute after takeoff from Ahmedabad Sardar Vallabhbhay, Flight-Tracker Flightradar24 reports.
The aircraft reached a maximum height of 625 feet, although the airport height is about 200 feet, Flightradar noted.
It is unclear why the plane lost its height so quickly before it crashed into the fire in the living space. Other deaths on Earth were reported in local media.
Air accidents can be caused by various factors: from mechanical problems to wildlife to pilot error and often include more than one problem.
What will the investigators look at?
Respondents will comb the rubble for the so -called black boxes: cabins and flight records. They will give rampant investigators who took place in flight.
Investigators at the disaster will look at everything from the airlines to the pilots, the position of the plane, as well as the rails and flaps on the wings, training pilots and recent conditions, as well as weather conditions on a hot day when the temperature was about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
They will also consider the video from the incident, including the footage of the aircraft flying from Ahmedabad.
According to international protocols, the country where the incident has taken place will be investigated, while the aircraft manufacturer, Boeing and the aircraft engine manufacturer, GE AEROSPACEAs well as participation in the US federal investigators will participate.
Previously, there were problems with the production and quality regarding Dreamliners. Are they related?
This is not immediately clear, and the final report on the causes of the accident may be unavailable until next year, but some experts have deprived the problems of production, partly because the plane is flying for more than ten years.
“I don’t think it is a production or production production,” said Jeff Gutsetti, a retired air safety investigator at the US Security Council and the Federal Aviation Administration.
He said it was too early to tell what the problem is – or problems, as emergency failures often include several setbacks.
“It seems that the plane came out of the runway without problems, but for some reason could not rise,” he said.
Previously, Boeing had problems with Dreamliner, but the immediate communication was not obvious, experts said.
Last year, the human rights activist claimed that Boeing took shortcuts on 787 To reduce narrow places and create “excessive tension” on large planes. Boeing denied the allegations.
The supplies of the aircraft were also grounded about a year until mid-2012 due to deficiencies when the parts of the fuselage were incorrectly located.
After Dreamliner first enrolled in the 2011 service, the planes were justified for checking out of the fear of the lithium -fisheries.
What does that mean for Boeing?
CEO Boeing Kelly OrtbergWhich took the reins last August, working on the movement of the manufacturer, the main exporter of the United States, given a number of safe and production crises.
The company has already acted from two accidents of its best -selling 737 Max Jets when the door plug was built in early 2024.
The impact on Boeing will depend on the investigation of the accident. Demand for new planes was still reliable, and the airlines often continue to place orders because the waiting period can stretch for several years.
The Wolfe Research note states that “we do not see a big direct impact on the financial indicators, but it is definitely canceled until a certain clarity is provided.
“We do not see any influence on the production ramp as a result and expect that any influence on the demand will be very minimal (and localized),” Wolfe wrote. “A modest risk can be any feedback cycle to certification (even before the certified) 777x, but very early in size.”
Boeing has an order for another 900 Dreamliners, according to its site.
