Sinnett explained in detail how the lithium ion battery system that burned on Monday was designed by his team to be safe and prevent smoke getting into the cabin in the event of a fire during a flight.
No kidding.
As opposed, presumably, to those battery systems that are designed to be
unsafe and
allow smoke to get into the cabin in the event of a fire during a flight ?
Asked why smoke entered the cabin on Monday, Sinnett said the plane lacked cabin pressure to expel smoke because it was on the ground.
Ah, so when a battery fire occurs when airborne, the differential pressure puts it out ? That's all good, then, no cause for alarm.
Apparently Mr Sinnett is 787 Chief Project Engineer.
Heaven help us.
