At least 15 people were injured Friday after an explosion line of liquid nitrogen at Textron Aviation in the area of Wichita, Kansas, that might interfere with the launch of a new aircraft under development, said representatives of the County and the company. The Textron Aviation division of Textron Inc, produces aircraft Beechcraft and Cessna.
Representatives of the company said that two of the injured went to the hospital in a private vehicle and two were pertarget medical care at the scene.
After noon on Saturday, control was returned to the company Textron Aviation, but the scene remained the emergency crews, she said.
According to Stephanie harder, a spokesman for Textron, the explosion of nitrogen has led to damage of plant No. 3, which are made of composite materials and experimental aircraft, including SkyCourier.
As reported earlier Textron, SkyCourier under the development of a turboprop engine should enter service in 2020. According to harder, it is still too early to determine the consequences of the explosion for the production of the amount of damage.
Previously Boeing aircraft Corporation has announced that it will suspend production of its 737 Max airliner, which was not allowed to flight operations around the world after two deadly accidents.
