Boeing has completed three key tests of the redesigned 787 battery system and could complete its evaluation of the system, including a final check-out flight test, by month-end. Updating the status of the testing and providing new detail of the redesigned battery system, 787-8 Engineering VP Ron Hinderberger says the company is confident of achieving so much in a relatively short time because of the large amount of engineering development test work already conducted in ground labs at Boeing.
Tests of the revised Boeing 787 battery system are expected to be completed “within weeks” and will involve only a single flight test, says VP and 787 Chief Project Engineer Mike Sinnett. Revealing full design details of the revised lithium-ion battery system, Sinnett also discloses that the enclosure system developed for the battery is designed to prevent a fire and not, as widely reported, to contain one.
