There’d be real “fun and flgames (not a typo) for the pledges” if that happened in flight. Since Li batteries are so muchmore compact and lighter than their lead scid counterparts and NMh counterparts, Boeing may have a serious redesign problem, the 787 having, at least in part, been designed around the new batteries.
Agreed, they’ve got a major problem and I believe very fortunate they haven’t already lost a plane and lives.
