Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Could Turn Boeing Dreamliner into a NightmareLarry Greenemeier
A committee co-chaired by Boeing published safety guidelines in March 2008 for using lithium-ion batteries on aircraft to minimize the risk of fire. But because they arrived five months after the FAA had approved a set of special conditions for the fire safety of the Dreamliner battery system,...
After extensive testing, Boeing ultimately selected the lithium-ion type battery because it has the right functionality and chemistry to deliver a large amount of power in a short period of time to do a high-energy task like start a jet engine. It then has the ability to recharge in a rel...
[243] The battery systems were the focus of a regulatory investigation due to multiple lithium battery fires, which led to the grounding of the 787 fleet starting in January 2013.[244] 【参考译文】霍尼韦尔和罗克韦尔柯林斯提供飞行控制、导航和其他航空电子系统,包括标准的双平视引导系统,[4] 泰雷兹...
In January, the FAA launched its review of the lithium-ion batteries in the 787s after one caught fire in a parked Dreamliner in Boston that month. A second battery overheated and smoked during a flight in Japan about a week later—prompting regulators to ground the worldwide fleet for four...

(FAA) grounded the planes in USA. Europe and other airlines followed. Air India offered its Dreamliner up for sale-leaseback, not unusual in the airline world. At one stroke, the 50 aircraft in service had disappeared from the skies as attention turned to the Japanese lithium ion battery ...

Mr Copeland points out that the grounding of Boeing’s 787 wide-body airliner for three months in 2013, because its lithium-ion batteries kept catching fire, did little to hurt demand for the aircraft. Yet even spectacular battery failures are not the same as two deadly crashes. A stronger ...
