NTSB report shows Boeing’s 787 battery analysis fell short
- yread 14y agoThe NTSB server is overloaded, analysis can be DLed from the trusty AvHerald http://avherald.com/files/public_54000-54499_54251_520521.pdf http://avherald.com/files/public_54000-54499_54251_520521.pd... some grim stuff in there: During this incident, the supply valves (which are electrically driven) lost electrical power after the APU shut down because the APU was the only source of electrical power being used at the time. As a result, smoke generated by the APU battery could not be effectively redirected outside the cabin and aft E/E bay.
