- Someone 13y agoWhat do you mean by 'sustainable'/and your argument for that is? An argument why this would be a working solution: the entire design went for fuel efficiency. Apparently, they were overconfident in the reliability of some parts. This fix adds some weight to diminish the impact of the unreliability of those parts. On the other hand, give that these planes probably will fly for half a century or more, it would be very unlikely if they never modified this design in the future. For example, further testing might show that this new steel container is stronger than needed, or materials might improve, or new battery technology will half the volume of these batteries, etc.
