波音 787 梦幻客机重新开始服役An Ethiopian Airlines 787 Dreamliner has taken off from Addis Ababa, the first commercial flight by the Boeing aircraft since all 787s were grounded in January.埃塞俄比亚航空公司的一架 787 梦幻客机已在亚的斯亚贝巴起飞，这是自今年一月波音787 禁飞以来的第一次商业飞行。This is the first Dreamliner passenger flight since January The 50 planes around the world were grounded due to battery malfunctions that saw one 787 catch fire in the US. Over the past week teams of Boeing engineers have been fitting new batteries to the aircraft. This was after aviation authorities approved the revamped（修补的） battery design. The Ethiopian Airlines flight is travelling to Nairobi in Kenya. Engineering team Each 787 has two of the lithium-ion batteries in question. In addition to new versions of the batteries which run at a much cooler temperature, the batteries are now enclosed in stainless steel boxes. These boxes have a ventilation pipe that directly goes to the outside of the plane. Boeing says this means than in the unlikely event of any future fire or smoke, it would not affect the rest of the aircraft. Boeing said it put 200,000 engineer hours into fixing the problem, with staff working round the clock. A total of 300 Boeing engineers, pooled into 10 teams, have in the past week been fitting the new batteries and their containment systems around the world. In addition to the 50 Dreamliners in service with airli nes, Boeing has upgraded the 787s it has continued to make at its factory in Seattle since January. The Dreamliner entered service in 2011. Half of the plane is made from lightweight composite materials, making it more fuel efficient than other planes of the same size. The two lithium-ion batteries are not used when the 787 is in flight. Instead they are operational when the plane is on the ground and its engines are not turned on, and are used to power the aircraft's brakes and lights.
