Decedents were killed in an airplane crash. The evidence presented indicated that the crash occurred because the plane's carburetor iced up. P contends that the plane was defective in using a carburetor rather than fuel injection and in failing to provide a carburetor heat gauge. The jury found for P on the basis that the FAA's approval of the design was not a complete defense. D appealed.
