Default Lithium-ion Batteries While flying

They don't address these batteries that are integral to the aircraft's electrical system or the new all electric aircraft. People who have a fear of flying are going to love this.

I've been aware of it for quite some time.
the solid state battery solves these issues, but it's being slow walked in development.
Till then, I find a little resentment each and every time I buy a replacement Li Ion or LiPo

I do bet those lithium ion batteries will power the electrical system all the way to the scene of the crash!!

I have no fear of flying.

Crashing on the other hand is a different matter...

Maybe the systems are monitored and the pilot can address a problem.

I believe the plane fires that have developed are ones that were stored in a checked suitcase.

Kinda like it's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop.

You've never cutout on a creosote utility pole. The sudden stop is a relief when you are sliding down a creosote pole and picking up splinters all way. Larry

Done that a few times.

Buck squeeze rules!

All that being said, I have to be hammered to get on a plane.

Hate flying.

Go on vacation once a year with the wife, usually someplace warm and sandy. Need to get buzzed just to get on a plane.

Army buddies would say, the hardest thing about
being in an Airborne Division, is the ground.

Reminds me of the old George Carlin joke about booking a flight:

Agent: "Where would you like to sit?"

George: "In the black box."
