RE: ET 787 On Fire At Heathrow Part 6

But if a fire sock is enough to contain a laptop battery, I wonder how the ELT (which must withstand 1100° for 2 minutes and still work) managed to cause a fire that was able to spread in an area made of fire retardent or resistent materials.

I am not sure if we can be sure that the ELT started the fire.

This would the third battery containment failure in the 7...

It must be some kind of special bad luck, when on a new auirplane you get thermal events on 3 different batteries in 3 different incidents.

RE: ET 787 On Fire At Heathrow Part 5

Somehow that looks to simple. That is the third battery in the 787 experiencing a thermal event. The first event after many years and thousands of units have been installed in other planes. As an isolated event, I would say bad luck, but 3 times the same kind of bad luck, hard to buy into that.

Yet, how does the ELT emit enough energy to set fire retardent material on fire? It is limited in place and available energy. A fire started there should not spread.

RE: ET 787 On Fire At Heathrow Part 4

An ELT battery failure? Now that would be rare and to be honest the damage seems a little large for that. It must have spread, which does not sound good for the fire protection systems. Retardent materials should avoid exactly that.

It would be great if it was some machine in the galley, I fear it was something in the electrical system for the APU.

RE: What Would A 797 Look Like?

We won´t see any new design until future noise limitations are decided. Because those will decide the feaseability of open-rotor design engines. If noise limitations do not get much stricter open-rotor can be done, if engines need to be quieter, open-rotor is dead.

It is one more sign for a A330NEO. It seems like 787 and A350 are over engineered range wise for many customers. The tried and tested A330 would still be a cheaper and viable option for shorter routes and especially for high density medium range routes.
