Boeing Finishes 787 Dreamliner New Battery Certification Testing

Boeing Finishes 787 Dreamliner New Battery Certification Testing

Boeing's troubles with the battery system on its latest 787 Dreamliner aircraft have been well documented. Back in January the global fleet of 50 Dreamliner aircraft was grounded due to incidents caused by the batteries overheating. The manufacturer had been testing a new lithium-ion battery system and it is finally done with the certification testing process. The certification demonstration flight was completed on a line number 86 Dreamliner, a production airplane owned by Boeing and built for LOT Polish Airlines. The test flight had a crew of 11 on board which included two representatives of the Federal Aviation Authority.
