Sam Salehpour
Sam Salehpour is a former Boeing engineer who gained attention for his whistleblower complaints regarding serious structural flaws in the 787 Dreamliner aircraft. In 2024, he formally alerted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about potential safety issues stemming from improperly filled gaps in the fuselage, which he argued could compromise the aircraft's structural integrity and lead to catastrophic failures. Salehpour emphasized that his motivation was to prevent accidents and ensure passenger safety, rather than to harm Boeing's reputation. His allegations reignited scrutiny over the manufacturing processes at Boeing, particularly concerning the 787 Dreamliner, which had already faced previous investigations related to similar issues.
