Am I missing a trick here?
Boeing now have what is, essentially, a new control/management system, connected to a new battery-pack,,,,,,they've managed to design, build, gear -up production and convince the Authority to certify it all for the 787 (despite the Authority having already dropped a major clanger first-time-around, so being extremely cautious to distance themselves from any fallout this time)..... All this in the space of a couple of months.
And yet they couldn't change the cell-chemistry to another Lithium variant which was "too new" at the time the 787 electrical system spec was "frozen" ? ( but which has several years of mainstream domestic and commercial use, now.
But they've been able to "unfreeze" the design to rectify the incendiary problem!

Let the postings speak for themselves! there are extremely well -qualified Engineers posting here.....obviously, you're not able to pick them out from the "gob****es"...but some of us can
Maybe the fools at Boeing's ivory tower don't peruse these threads, but I'd bet a pound to a pinch of sh!t that some of their current Engineers are monitoring, as well as the retired ones who have already made their prescence known.
Consultants would charge MILLIONS for the analysis and insight herein.
Again, Boeing Engineers are readily able to filter the diamonds from the dross, so don't insult the posters or the engineers, please.
