I note that you neglect to mention a 747 that had been flying for a few years. And I also note that you don't mention the very specific problems with older 747s... I suspect that was intentional. A 'factory new' 747 is assuredly fine. The FAA says so for one ! What I suspect few expected was that some of the early a/c would continue to fly so long, being the solid brick ****houses that they are. Also, in depth knowledge of wire ageing was in its infancy when the 747 came off the drawing board. I confess to having learnt a great deal about ageing issues when it came to TWA 800. One of the most interesting subtle issues was the surely well intentioned use of silver plated crimp connectors in the FQIS. Turns out that after a few decades, the sulphur in the fuel has combined sufficiently with the silver on the connector to form a semi-conductive silver sulphide film on terminal blocks, capable of providing an ignition source if sufficient voltage is applied. The lessson has been learnt - thanks in part IIRC to a Tower Air 747 that reported erratic fuel quantity readings. These days nickel plated parts are used. Graham |

Why did Boeing spend the money to change their "Basic CWT Design Philosophy" & implement this "CWT Design Philosophy" across all commercial Pax AC with CWT's? Why has the operating costs of all Boeing Commercial A/C with CWT's increased to eliminate the "Inherent Danger" associated with the "Heritage Boeing CWT Design Philosophy"? Why has the value of all Boeing A/C built to the "Heritage Boeing CWT Design Philosophy" decreased in value? Why have the "Maintence Costs" of Boeing A/C built to "Heritage Boeing CWT Design Philosophy" increased exponentially because of the need to eliminate the "Inherent Danger" associated with the ""Heritage Boeing CWT Design Philosophy"?

You do know, Ralph, that the spoiler is operated as a flap on 707, 727, and 747 Boeing aircraft, by the automatic Yaw damper? I have seen nothing in any manual that associates the spoilers in the 747-400 with the yaw dampers, and have not seen any wiring diagram that indicates they are connected. I don't think the yaw damper has any control over the spoilers in the 744. |

That ignition source relies on the 140 Ampres of three phase under the flight deck floor of TWA-800. (ie upper deck alley) The best that can be said for TWA-800 is that the market punished the perpitrators perfectly. |

Actually, the Smiths Industries ? report on an ex Tower Air cwt terminal block indicated visible flame with 9V applied from a 'transistor radio battery' IIRC. Graham |
