ZA006's first 1h and 4min in the sky are in the bag, clocking in a bit shorter than first anticipated due to a liquid cooling leak, programe sources indicate. Liquid cooling is used to moderate the temperature of the 787's more-electric architecture. The squawk - or maintenance issue - occurred while the second GEnx-1B powered 787 was cruising at 39,000 ft. The aircraft returned without incident to Boeing Field at 12:45 PM PT. Boeing did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
