COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Boeing & Messier-Dowty Collaboration Boeing and Messier-Dowty are working together to ensure the design and manufacturing experience of both companies is understood and incorporated in the 787 landing gear design Establishment of the local Messier-Dowty office (Kent, Wa.) allows for ease of communication Co-location of the Boeing and Messier-Dowty design engineers during joint definition phase “Best Practices” reviews by Boeing and Messier-Dowty Weekly design reviews between Boeing and Messier-Dowty (ongoing) COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Boeing & Messier-Dowty Collaboration In the past Boeing identified the corrosion protection requirements by utilizing design guides developed from lessons learned and placing them on drawings While the 787 detailed design is being performed by Messier- Dowty, they are still expected to meet the Boeing requirements for the design of the structure, including corrosion protection as defined in “Book 4” (part of the Requirements Package given to M-D) Messier-Dowty materials, processes, finishes, etc. used on the 787 are being reviewed by Boeing (Standards Management Board) to ensure that they meet our requirements. Boeing believes the incorporation of these requirements and lessons learned will help assure that the 787 landing gear will have performance similar to the rest of our fleet.

Wear Surfaces (inner cylinder, pin surfaces, etc.) Where practical, chrome plate is replaced with high performance thermal spray coatings (e.g. tungsten-carbide based) on the wear surfaces of the landing gear. High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) Coatings Improved wear performance Improved fatigue performance Improved corrosion protection of steel substrates Improved overhaul flow time for large parts Successfully introduced on 767-400ER COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary HVOF - Information Thermal Spray Process Feedstock Powder, Wire or Rod Energy Source Thermal energy/heat ‘Molten’ Accelerated Particle Kinetic energy Particle Splat Splat Build-up into a Coating Substrate Thermal Spray Process COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary HVOF – Corrosion Protection Corrosion Protection Chrome plating contains numerous micro cracks that can link together and traverse through the thickness of the plating. When this happens, a path is created for moisture to reach the substrate, which will lead to corrosion Thermal spray coatings are applied as overlapping layers, with the final structure being free from internal micro cracks. Repeated loading of HVOF coated parts can induce coating cracks; however, these cracks typically do not reach the coating/substrate interface. Cracks stop at the first or second deposited layer and travel parallel to the substrate interface. − This behavior results in an intact layer of HVOF coating that continues to protect the steel base metal. Long term corrosion testing of HVOF coupons after fatigue testing has demonstrated significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to Cr plating COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary HVOF – Corrosion Protection Chrome plating more susceptible to cracking than HVOF coatings HVOF (pre-finished) Chrome COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary HVOF – Corrosion Protection Salt Spray Testing Results Boeing Cd-Ti Plating: 500 hours minimum with no base metal attack Boeing Cd-Ti + 1 coat primer: 2500 hours minimum with no base metal attack Chrome plating: No requirement, but lab testing shows evidence base metal corrosion 4 – 96 hours Boeing BMS 10-67 Type 17 HVOF: testing stopped after nine months with no evidence of base metal attack COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary HVOF – Corrosion Protection 9 Month Salt Spray Exposure – Type 17 Salt Spray Test Results COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Composite Side and Drag Braces The 787 is introducing composite braces for weight savings COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Composite Braces Drag Brace Side Brace LDB UDB USB LSB 61 15 27 COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary The bushings will be installed in a permanent (Ti) sleeve The permanent sleeve will be installed using adhesive and a traditional thermal-fit installation method A traditional thermal-fit installation method has also been selected to install the bushings in the permanent sleeve Instructions for overhaul will be provided in CMM with reference to applicable Boeing SOPM Composite Brace Bushing Installation Composite lug Permanent sleeve (Ti) Standard Al-Ni- Bronze bushings COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Only the bushings are scheduled to be removed and replaced during overhaul.

Plan will involve Boeing working with a select number of airlines to accomplish a limited sampling program. Operators not part of the program do not need to accomplish the sampling inspections/restorations.

Reduction of overhaul interval would be necessary in the event of “significant” corrosion or wear findings. Definition of “significant” findings will be established prior to implementation Results of all inspections will be reported to the ISC/FAA COPYRIGHT © 2007 THE BOEING COMPANY Boeing Proprietary Optional Details Details of sampling program are available (11 hidden slides).
