I read this a couple days ago. There is something fishy about this. I'm sure they have ever bit of designs for that plane. Why would they need to reverse it? Doesn't make sense.

Either lost the plans for that part, or more likely the sub-contractor who made it didn"t keep the specialized tooling. Precision manufacturing is no small matter - even if you have the design specs, once the jigs, dies, etc are gone you have to do an immense amount of rework. This is why China is +20 years behind in jet engine technology - even if they have a modern engine for reference, figuring out how to duplicate the manufacturing process is very complex.

No, I'm not believing that. Those plans are all in the same place.
