Heat Transfer
While we are waiting for some factual news from the Singapore investigation, would anyone else like to comment on the significance of the three, now Whitish color, hand hole access plates on the underside of the aircraft wing outboard of the starboard engine pylon?
To me, it looks like they got much hotter than the adjacent wing skin, but I have not had opportunity to get up close and personal with them. Suppose they had melted through. Would that have made things more interesting?
