The Chicago-based company found microscopic wrinkles in the skin of the 787’s
fuselage and ordered Italian supplier Alenia Aeronautica to stop making sections on
June 23, spokeswoman Lori Gunter said Friday. Boeing has started patching the areas.

Midplane
Fabrics
• When plies of fabric are used in a laminate. The
[(45)/0(-45)/90] angle of the fabric warp is used as the ply direction
angle.
g The fabric angle g is enclosed in p parentheses
to identify the ply as a fabric ply.
Midplane • When the laminate is composed of both fabric and
tape plies (a hybrid laminate). The parentheses
around the fabric p plies will distinguish
g the fabric
Tapes & Fabrics plies from the tape plies.
• When the laminate is symmetrical and has an odd
number of plies, the center ply is overlined to
p
indicate that it is the midplane.
