Japan’s IHI reveals more ‘improper’ engine inspections
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - Jane's Defence Weekly
10 April 2019
Japan’s IHI Corporation said on 9 April that it found more than 7,000 cases of “improper” engine inspections in the process of making related components for commercial and military engines in the two years through to January 2019.
The development takes the number of confirmed flawed inspections to more than 13,000 after the company reported in March 6,340 cases of improper inspections on 209 engines during the same time frame.
About 20% of the inspected engines are for military use, the company said. In carrying out an investigation, which covered about 1.8 million engine parts, IHI stressed that it has found no safety problems because of the inadequate inspections and that the affected engines meet all technical standards.
