More questions than answers with the Ethiopian Airlines 787 fire…

Some of the answers somewhere under that carbon fibre and titanium frame.

There have been reports by FlightGlobal and the Wall Street Journal that the investigation is looking at the Emergency Locator Transmitter that can be seen scorched near the top of the fuselage.

Honeywell  – the manufacture of the part – has joined the investigation regarding the fire on the Ethiopian Airlines 787. Their participation in the investigation at this point “is standard procedure “and it still remains too early to “speculate on the cause of the fire”.

So far, the Li-ion battery systems have not been identified as a point of ignition of the on board incident that forced Heathrow to close on 12th July.

Certainly, there are more questions than answers in this investigation so far.
