Question for the gurus (sort of OT) on temp/humidity etc. As SLF I have sat in many airframes on the tarmac with the temp and humidity well above what is found at cruise (many airport in an Australian summer - particularly FNQ) Surely the fact that the dreamliner has x% increased humidity compared to older aluminium fuselages pales by comparison to the humidity all aircraft are exposed to in say Cairns with the doors open and the A/c packs switched off. obviously in this condition the circuitry is likely to be shut down, but surely when the aircraft is started the humidity inside could be 98% and fully powered up?
Surely aircraft are tested in these conditions too? Does this invalidate the x% higher humidity argument on the dreamliner?
