Boeing Dreamliners

I was listening to PBS News on TV regarding the new Boeing Dreamliners. The problems they are dealing the Dreamliners  seem to have to do with flammable liquids in the Lithium batteries on board. I think it is the lithium battery in some laptops that some manufacturers have had trouble with over the years catching fire too. There are many youtube videos taken of laptops with Lithium batteries catching on fire if they are still there at Youtube.

Another potential problem I was thinking about is the fact that they are replacing hydraulics on these planes with all electric systems. I can see from a point of view of an all composite plane having the capacity to fly itself like drones do without a pilot this would be very desirable if everyone was dead on the plane including the pilots to bring it in safely without harm to anyone on the ground.

However, this would also make these Dreamliners more likely to crash in a really severe Solar Storm of the kind that often knocks out satellites too. Because the jets are from 20,000 feet to 40,000 feet they also are vulnerable to solar storms affecting the magnetosphere too. And even people with heart problems like myself have increased difficulties from accidentally flying while a solar storm was hitting earth's magnetosphere. So, this might be something to consider as well. I think all planes should be able to be flown in a complete emergency without ANY electricity on board for safety purposes because of what we now know about the Carrington Event of 1859. That way someone could glide the plane to a safe landing or at least a landing that all or most could actually survive without ANY electricity on board at all. Otherwise during a really bad solar storm just expect to see all passenger and military jets fall out of the sky at about the same time sometime in the next several hundred years. I think I calculated this would be about 6000 planes if you average about 100 persons a plane on the passenger planes. So,  100 times 6000 planes equals about 600,000 people gone on one day if it happened between 6 am and midnight on any given day anywhere over land on earth.

Here are some buttons dealing with Lithium battery fires:
