Boeing will take up to a year to repair an engine issue on all its beleaguered 737 Max jets, which will delay the certification of its 737 Max 7s and Max 10s.
Boeing has acquired a team of experts to “quickly drive forward a safe and compliant solution” to a glitch that could cause the 737 Max anti-ice system to overheat and damage the engine, the corporation wrote in response to questions from Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois), according to CBS News.
Boeing officials previously said they would have the issue fixed within nine to 12 months, the outlet noted.
“Small changes made to the engine inlet can change the behavior of the air as it enters the engine, impacting engine performance,” the embattled company explained.
“The solution selection process for the potential overheating issue will require a full understanding of safety and compliance impacts on all systems,” Boeing added.
Although the specific issue has never occurred in-flight, the worst-case scenario could cause components to break off the airplane, CBS reported.

Used to be “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going!”. Not so much anymore.
There is a poster here who said we shouldn’t be talking down boeing. The netflix piece was crap and all these issues were crap. Wonder if he still holds this view?
They should sell these things to the Iranians and North Koreans and be done with them.
Somebody here on FR was defending the 737 MAX recently - yet here we are with yet another issue.
Will the new all electric engine jumbo jets be ready by then?
Hope the projected and predicted range for the EV charge will be sort of somewhat accurate.
Over the ocean: “This is your captain speaking. I want all of you to review what the staff told you about using your cushions as flotation devices. We’re going to be about 300
miles away from the coast when we need a recharge up here.”

If you taxi around all the time with the engine anti-ice turned on, even on 90 degree summer days, the heat will eventually cause the composite engine inlet faring to disintegrate and pieces could be ingested into the engine. But it takes a very long time of abuse of the engine anti-ice system for this to happen.
The short term solution is don't turn on engine anti-ice when it's not needed, like the flight manual says.
The long term solution is to add sensors to the engine cowls to detect icing conditions, and to turn off the engine anti-ice heat when it is not needed.
According to Agenda 2030 we will not be allowed to fly after 2030 anyway. We will be eating bugs and snakes. Vote Trump 2024 or this is your fate. Look it up

able to fly 1 way every 3 years
You know, someone is doing a hit job on Boeing and call them manufacturing issues, but I wonder if they are more maintenance issues. In the military, we found out you must have good maintenance to keep the birds flying, regardless of who made them. I wonder with all the DEI bullsh*t if it isn’t just lousy mechanics that are poorly trained in many of those issues. For instance, we had a couple of crashes of F-4’s because some embecile had slid his intake cover down into the intake while he was working on the plane. When the pilot kicked in his burners, the engines blew up..just sayin’. As usual, our dishonest reporters really don’t want to know what the issues are.

The basic 737 has been a long trusted workhorse. This max version unfortunately was an example of Boeing reengineering it as a larger sized aircraft. That way money was saved compared to designing a new plane from scratch. This cutting corners approach may now imperil the entire company There’s a lesson in all this somewhere.
“The solution selection process ...”
That’s what it’s all about!
This proves DEI needs to D-I-E a slow painful death.
Someone in Boeing ‘lowered’ hiring stanards , employees are saying this is why these things are happening.

It’s not just the stupidity of the 737 MAX and lack of clean sheet design. Why are not nuts and bolts being installed and torqued? That’s not maintenance.
Wanna bet there are no DEI commissars involved in the team member selection process this time?
“Although the specific issue has never occurred in-flight.”
The same folks wanting to bash Boeing are mostly the same people who cowered during COVID.
What is the mortality rate of flying a Boeing jet????
Live Passengers/Successful flights versus DEAD/Crashes?
Is it 99%+++?
What is the mortality rate for the jab?
“There is a poster here who said we shouldn’t be talking down boeing.”
Don’t know about that but wonder if other plane builders’ problems are not being as much publicized.
“What is the mortality rate for the jab?”
Outside of your point but even if an accurate number is known, that data will never, and I mean NEVER be revealed.
Why? Because I suspect it’s far far more than we are being told.
