I. Introduction
This case arises out of an airplane crash in the Sea of Okhotsk. On board the airplane were members of a fraternal aviation organization. The purpose of the trip was aircraft evaluation and demonstration. No one was seriously injured in the crash. The airplane’s insurer, the aviation company that operated the airplane, and one of it co-owners brought this product liability action against, inter alia, the manufacturers of the airplane and its engine. A jury returned a verdict finding the manufacturers partially liable for the crash.
