Airbus has alternative solution for A350 batteries

  • France: Saturday, February 02 - 2013 at 05:23

Airbus chief executive Fabrice Bregier has said the European plane maker has studied alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for its next jet, the A350, and has time to adapt to any rule changes prompted by the problems that have grounded Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner, Reuters has reported. "We studied the integration of these batteries on the A350 very carefully," Bregier told a group of French aerospace journalists. "I am very relaxed about this." Airbus had warned about the risks of lithium-ion batteries at a closed meeting of airlines in March 2011. "We identified this fragility at the start of development and we think we resolved it about a year ago," Bregier said, without providing further details.
