All Nippon Airways, the Japanese airline that is the largest operator of Boeing's beleaguered Dreamliner, said an electric distribution panel overheated and blackened during a 787 test flight recently.
the cause of the "minor" incident was that a nut was not properly tightened during maintenance by Boeing workers
Can anyone with an understanding of AC/DC electrics explain how a loose nut could cause this to happen?
