C/mon guys, haven't we been through all this stuff about cells ad nauseum already ?.
Boeing should stick with lithium imho. Just bring in some decent systems engineering
bods to fix the problem and lock away the beancounters for a few months
. Just
because airbus have run scared for political / business reasons doesn't mean the
original ideas were invalid. It's a proven technology and just needs to be properly
engineered.
It will probably take months to fix this, but that's the price you pay when you hand
off responsibity to many vendors, with inadequate engineering oversight and thus
lose track of the big picture...
