re-design the batteries so they are round, take the reduction in cap, or make it a little bigger...the space between the cells could be filled with non-reactive material...(just like all the other LI systems out there!)

the titanium shell cert would be 3 months....and it does not look like the FAA is even entertaining this...

to redesign the battery/charging/electrical system will take how long to design and then cert?

meanwhile, production rate is about what, 40 a month? at least 120 ac stored somewhere waiting for the temp fix...

for 6 months, 240 ac that would then have to be re-fitted, not to mention the ac already parked....

looks like Boeing should have let them go on strike, just to save the parking space...
