Ben, c'est pas la fête sur le 787 d'essais ZA002 !
Feu dans les équipements électroniques, fumée dans le cockpit, plus d'instruments, atterro à vue, le RAT à la fenêtre et les rampes d'évacuation a Laredo, une trentaine de techniciens étaient à bord !
Ils ont eu chaud !
C'est l' équipement standard ou le matériel de test qui s'est allumé ???
Ça ne va pas avancer les essais !
Sauf qu'ils sauront ce qu'il se passe quand le tout électrique brûle .... le Times parle de flammes ! Expérience utile s'il en est ... des essais bien complets ... houlà !

Smoke in the cabin of ZA002, Boeing's second 787 flight test aircraft prompted an evacuation of the 30-plus test personnel on board. The test aircraft was enroute to Harlingen, Texas for trials of the aircraft's nitrogen generation system, when smoke was seen in the main cabin. Boeing says ZA002 "continued its approach and landed safely in Laredo, Texas." Adding that the "crew evacuated the airplane safely."
