Hencely v. Fluor Corp. · ¶24

In Boyle, the confict between federal interests and state law was particularly sharp. There, a Marine helicopter pilot drowned after a crash during a training exercise. Id., at 502. The pilot's father sued the manufacturer of the helicopter, alleging that, under state tort principles, the escape hatch for the helicopter should have opened inward even though the federal procurement contract for the helicopter required that it open outward. Id., at 503.
