A Boeing-owned 787 production plane built for LOT Polish Airlines lands after a demonstration flight meant to be the final certification test for the 787's new battery system at Paine Field in Everett, Wash., Friday, April 5, 2013. Boeing called the flight &quot;the final certification test for the new battery system.&quot; The next step will be for the Federal Aviation Administration to decide whether Boeing's battery fix is good enough for airlines to safely fly it again. The test was &quot;to demonstrate that the new system performs as intended during normal and non-normal flight conditions,&quot; Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said. The 787 Dreamliner has been grounded since mid-January because of smoldering batteries, including a fire on the ground in Boston. Boeing has designed what it says is a fix, including more heat insulation and a battery box designed so that any meltdown of the lithium-ion battery will vent the hot gases outside of the plane.
