Boeing's New 747 Jumbo Risks Dangerous Vibration, FAA Says
Boeing Co.’s newest 747 jumbo jetliner faces a risk of dangerous vibrations, known as “flutter,” in limited situations, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Data analysis shows that “divergent flutter,” oscillations of a wing that could cause it to break up, may occur on the 747-8 during a “high g-load maneuver in combination with certain system failures,” the FAA said Wednesday. G-loading refers to the stresses on a plane that can increase during acceleration and turns. (finance.yahoo.com) Mais...

One to 5 years on repair. Wow, really bad & urgent.
What they don't say is... How this issue was discovered?
The issue was discovered during testing. Then has flutter issues on the plane and Boeing noticed it and came out with a solution. However I guess the solution was not as good as they had hoped for.
Boeing will figure it out.... At least they found it and not with a few hundred passengers onboard... That is one reason Boeing is the best.
