Engineering a safety system for fires on the plane at altitude is nearly impossible. As the battery industry has discovered, designing a lithium-ion cell that is 100% impervious to thermal failure seems like an insurmountable challenge. The airline industry did not create this problem, but it is very much saddled with its revolution. In this article, Chris Greene delves more about handling energy fires at high altitudes.
