honeywell to test some f-35 parts after smoke incident

WASHINGTON (Reuters)-
The Pentagon said Monday that,

The Pentagon has made temporary changes to prevent another smoke incident, she said.

A spokesman for Pratt & Whitney, an engine manufacturer owned by United Technologies, said the blade assembly arrived at the company\'s Middletown in Connecticut, and the facilities and engineering team on Sunday night were checking it.
Honeywell manufactured the \"power thermal management system\" of the aircraft, which uses lithium-
The ion battery is similar to the battery that Boeing\'s entire fleet of 787 aircraft was grounded due to a failure, but Hawn said the incident of February 14 was similar to the F-35’s lithium-ion batteries.

She said that the entire temperature management system would be sent to Honeywell in order to conduct a more careful inspection and development of permanent fixtures, noting that the aircraft was conducting development tests to specifically identify any such problems.
\"This is the purpose of testing, development and initial training for any project --
\"Identify differences, develop fixes and put them in place to ensure operational safety,\" she said . \" She added that the preliminary assessment indicated that \"the risk was minimal ,(a)

The pilot then stopped the test flight and landed safely at the base, but never announced
The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that there was an emergency in the flight and added, \"there was no fire associated with a smoke incident.
The official said: \"The procedure has now been changed so that the pilot does not restart the backup power unit during the flight.
