Engine failure: If the crack is not found and mended, it can cause to engine malfunction, which can result in devastating outcomes.
Thermal stress: The 787’s engine cowling is made of magnesium, which is susceptible to thermal pressure due to its low thermal conductivity. As the engine gets hot up and cools down throughout flight, the magnesium cowling expands and contracts, creating strain that can cause to cracking. 787 Magknight Crack
Inspection and restoration: Boeing has recommended that carriers inspect their 787 groups for the split and execute mends as necessary. Structural modifications: Boeing is working on structural changes to the Magknight covering to reduce the risk of splitting. Material enhancements: Boeing is exploring the use of alternate substances for the propulsion housing that are less liable to breaking. Engine failure: If the crack is not found
