Good Evening All:
Does anyone have any information on how severe the electrical fire was in the aircraft mentioned? Any mention of the engineering fix to prevent this fire from happening again?
Any idea of the financial penalties Boeing is facing in the delay of the B-787?
Boeing says 787 test flights to resume.
Boeing said it would resume tests for the carbon-composite 787 Dreamliner after it made design changes following an electrical fire on a plane last month.
The company said in a statement it has installed an interim version of updated power distribution system software and conducted a rigorous set of reviews to confirm the flight readiness of the first of the six flight test planes that will resume flying.
Boeing said it expected to complete its assessment of the 787 program schedule next month. Another delay in the first delivery of the 787 is widely expected.
Flight testing of the 787 was suspended last month after an in-flight electrical incident on a test flight in Laredo, Texas. Certification tests required by aviation regulators will resume after flight tests, the company said.
