Both Boeing and the University of Washington deny they helped design the lost Titan sub (source)
On the company’s website, OceanGate wrote that the Titan was “designed and engineered by OceanGate Inc. in collaboration [with] experts from NASA, Boeing, and the University of Washington.”
But two of those listed entities, Boeing and the University of Washington, are saying that’s not true. NASA, which did consult on the design, is now clarifying what its invovement did and didn’t entail.
In a statement sent to Insider, Boeing said the aircraft company was not involved with the development of OceanGate’s Titan.
“Boeing was not a partner on the Titan and did not design or build it,” a Boeing spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Insider. The spokesperson did not elaborate on any connection to OceanGate.
The University of Washington also released a statement saying that it wasn’t involved in creating OceanGate’s Titan submersible.
In a statement provided to CNN, University of Washington spokesperson Victor Balta said the university’s Applied Physics Laboratory was not involved in the “design, engineering, or testing of the Titan submersible.”
