This seems like there must have been like… 30 levels of checks and protocols to prevent anything like this from happening. How does something like this even occur
Well, the article said it was a 3D Printed part bought at an airshow. Which I imagine is like a gun show, and you can buy as many add-ons as you want from individual people.
I would question whether or not they used high Temperature filament, like PETG or something better, Or if that shit is just thick PLA.
But I do agree that there should be 30 levels of checks and protocols to prevent anything like this from happening. I think if you attach something to the exterior of your airplane, it needs to be made by a manufacturer who knows what they’re doing.
