Pennsylvania Faulty Aircraft Design Attorneys
Automobiles that have flawed designs or defective parts can cause serious damage. For example, the Ford Pinto’s infamous gas tank problems were the focus of much public scrutiny and scandal. But faulty aircraft design often escapes public attention, despite the potential for accidents in such cases to be significantly worse than those involving cars. However, this is a very real danger. Because many small plane crashes are only reported locally, the extent of the threat is not fully known.

Incidents and Accidents Caused by Design Flaws
One truly regrettable aspect of the current state of aviation affairs is that design flaws often do not receive much notice until they cause severe injuries or fatalities. The following incidents are quite different from one another, but they are united by the fact that they resulted from faulty aircraft design:
- Virgin Atlantic inspected 36 of their planes after a fire forced an emergency landing in January 2009. Their investigation may have saved lives, because they found that a wiring flaw had been responsible for the fire and that four other planes had the same problem.
- Singer John Denver’s fatal plane crash was caused by a flaw in the build of an experimental plane’s flight kit.
- A design flaw in a Rolls Royce engine part was blamed for a crash and emergency landing in 2008 that caused an engine on two Boeing 777 aircraft to fail in mid-flight.
