engine generators and navigation lights. The lithium ion battery had already been used within the aerospace industry and other industries prior to the Dreamliner rollout, including satellites, consumer electronics, and power tools (“Batteries and advanced airplanes,” 2013). The Accident About a year and a half after finally entering service, a Boeing 787-8 operated by Japan Airlines experienced an accident that set back the entire program. On January 7, 2013, an APU battery caught fire while on the ground in Boston. The aircraft was between flights and only maintenance and ground crews were on board when smoke was noticed. About a week later, a second Boeing 787-8 reported battery issues with an identical model battery. This time, an All Nippon Airways flight within Japan made an emergency landing because of the main battery (“NTSB air 1401,” 2014). In response to the two closely-timed events, the FAA grounded the fleet by issuing an emergency airworthiness directive (“Interim Factual Report,” 2013). At this time, there were only fifty Dreamliners in operation globally (“NTSB air 1401,” 2014). Original Design and Certification As part of Boeing’s initial certification process, special conditions were required because the lithium-ion batteries were considered “novel or unusual design features” as early as 2003 when Boeing first applied for type certification (“Interim Factual Report,” 2013). At this point, federal regulations had only considered the use of NiCd batteries in…

Boeing is the largest company and producer of airplanes. Years back, they introduced a design for the all new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The super airliner was designed to be on the same central network for all things, including passenger connectivity. The Federal Aviation Administration had never seen anything like the Dreamliner and didn’t know how to address the problem of figuring out the safety concerns and the legality of the new plane. There are benefits and risks of using a common network…

happy to hear that I’ve finally left behind that little farm. I must be honest when I say that i’m a little less than merry about having to go. The farm just isn’t what it used to be, however, Mother and Father aren’t making the money they used to. So it’s my turn to make my way in the world.

It took him a few second to figure it…
