Boeing Dreamliner Update: Boeing asks for FAA's Approval to test fly Dreamliner

In the wake of Japan's Transportation Safety Board finding that eight cells in the lithium-ion battery placed in the Dreamliner overheated and encountered signs of "short-circuiting and "thermal runaway," a chemical reaction in which rising temperature causes progressively hotter temperatures, Boeing doesn't seemed fazed and have asked the Federal Aviation Administration "for permission to fly test flights on its 787 Dreamliner as the company searches for the cause of battery problems in the innovative plane."
