Virgin Galactic has intensified its legal dispute with Boeing, accusing the aerospace giant of failing to meet its obligations in a partnership aimed at developing a new space tourism 'mothership'. The company, founded by billionaire Richard Branson, alleges that Boeing and its subsidiary, Aurora Flight Services, delivered 'shoddy and incomplete work', breaching their contractual obligations on April 4. Furthermore, Virgin Galactic claims Boeing is attempting to unlawfully force the return of intellectual property related to the project. This legal battle comes amid Boeing's ongoing struggles with regulatory concerns over quality and safety.
