Airbus to revert back to Ni-Cad batteries for A350
- France: Saturday, February 16 - 2013 at 00:48
Airbus has said it has decided to drop all use of lithium ion batteries in its new A350 XWB, as Boeing continues to investigate the same batteries that triggered an emergency landing of the 787 last month in Tokyo. The company said it is reverting back to the proven nickel cadmium main batteries for the A350 as it enters the market, which is currently scheduled for the second half of 2014. However, the A350 flight test programme with the lithium-ion batteries will continue as planned, Airbus noted.
