Safety board raises new concerns over jetliner batteries
CNN) -- Federal safety investigators cast new concerns about using lithium-ion batteries to power systems on commercial aircraft, saying they should be put through rigorous tests that produce "the most severe outcomes" before being approved for use in the skies. The National Transportation Safety Board issued the recommendations on Thursday as it continues to investigate lithium-ion batteries on Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

I don't think we are be parochial. Why chew old fat; something that was well known from at least a year ago??????
I wonder how much Airbus stock is owned by NTSB employees? ;)
Just our new NTSB chairman trying to make a splash. Nobody worked harder than the FAA and Boeing to unground a fleet of brand ne Airplanes, A YEAR AGO.
Has nothing to do with the chairman, NTSB always makes recommendations after aircraft incidents and are ALWAYS ignored by the FAA, the FAA does what the FAA feels is right, nothing more. LOL
Forgot to add that this only made the news do to the high profile of 787 batteries, otherwise NTSB recommendations never make the news.
Honestly, do we need a Dreamliner's all plastic design burning up mid-air before we accept the fact that the particular technology may not be as well suited to it's application?
Or are we just being parochial?
