First-time NBAA show exhibitor XBag has developed a solution for extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires in airplanes and eVTOLs. The German company is displaying a kit that includes fire extinguishers and special heat-resistant gloves for handling a burning battery, wrapped in a rolled bag for easy storage in cabins and cockpits.

The kits come in two sizes: a larger one contains two small fire extinguishers for the cabin and a smaller kit has one fire extinguisher for the cockpit.
