Fears about battery safety emerged after a lithium-ion battery in a 787 operated by All Nippon Airways overheated, forcing an emergency landing in western Japan in mid-January and a worldwide grounding of the Dreamliner fleet.
The meteor broke up in mid-atmosphere, with some confirmed pieces of the meteor landing as far as 50 miles away from the site and other fragments may have fallen 75 miles away.
This aircraft, dubbed the V-22, is capable of taking off and landing like a helicopter and of transitioning to horizontal flight like a conventional aircraft in mid-air.
