Boeing refere riscos no design do novo jato Airbus

March 4, 2021 - A Boeing suscitou preocupações com o design do mais recente avião da arquirrival Airbus, o A321XLR, dizendo que o novo tipo de depósito de combustível – moldado diretamente na fuselagem – pode ter risco de incêndio.

In a submission to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Boeing said the architecture of a fuel tank intended to increase the A321XLR’s range “presents many potential hazards,” according to a Reuters report.

Airbus plans to make the new tank an integral part of the fuselage, meaning its shape would follow the contours of the jet and carry more fuel.

EASA has said it would impose special conditions to ensure the fuselage around the integral fuel tank is resistant to external fire to protect passengers.

In comments to EASA first reported by Flightglobal, Boeing cited risks if a jet veers off a runway or its wheels fail.
