Boeing has halted its much delayed Dreamliner programme following an electrical fire onboard a test aircraft.<\/p>\n

Dreamliner ZA002 lost primary electrical power as a result of the fire during approach to Laredo, Texas, yesterday.<\/p>\n

Pilots deployed backup systems \u2013 including the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) – which functioned as expected and allowed a safe landing.<\/p>\n

The incident is under investigation by Boeing. However, while it is still not known what caused the fire, Boeing has restricted the programme to ground test operations only.<\/p>\n

The aircraft manufacturer has already suggested the incident may further delay the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot determine the impact of this event on the overall program schedule until we have worked our way through the investigation data,\u201d the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

News of the fire and the test program hiatus hit Boeing hard on Wall Street. The company\u2019s shares were down 3.15 per cent, or $2.18 earlier today.<\/p>\n

Boeing recently pushed the launch of the Dreamliner back to 2011, the latest in a series of delays for the troubled aircraft.<\/p>\n

Dreamliner has now suffered almost two-years of delays since the project was launched.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s All Nippon Airways, the first carrier to place an order, was scheduled to take delivery of the first aircraft by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

This has already been pushed back to February next year before the latest incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
