An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 was severely damaged by fire at London Heathrow Airport on Friday, although the fire does not appear to be connected with the lithium-ion battery problems which grounded all 787s earlier this year. The fire, understood to have broken out shortly before 5 p.m., occurred while the aircraft was parked on a remote stand in the western part of the airport prior to the scheduled 9 p.m. departure of the airline’s flight ET701 to Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.
As Boeing closes on the firm configuration milestone for the 737 MAX later this month, the company has selected BAE Systems to provide the spoiler control electronics. The move to fly-by-wire spoilers is designed to improve handling characteristics, reduce weight and lower maintenance costs, and is one of the few major systems changes for the aircraft family, which is due to enter service in 2017. The control electronics award is BAE’s first win on the MAX, and the company’s first contract since the Partnering for Success program was rolled out by Boeing.
