Why the lithium-ion batteries in Boeing's 787 Dreamliner are burning
- sebbi 14y agoI await the moment they prohibit passengers to bring lithium ion batteries on board, because ... you know ... they ARE small bombs.
- thedrbrian 14y agoNot sure if this article is correct. I always thought the 787 used a generator connected to the APU to start the main engines. Wouldn't the normal start up procedure be fire up APU> connect generator to APU> start main engines using current from APU Generator. You aren't starting a big ass turbine using the battery packs buried under the passenger seats.
- meh01 14y agoArticle is full of misinformation and not facts. The problem with covering engineering issues in planes is that journalists have no idea what the hell they're writing about.
