A combination of trying to save money and beating out the competition (Airbus) who had got ahead of the game with a design from scratch whereas Boeing tried to modify a end of life design (737) to do the job. A typical upper-level management over-riding engineering staff to shortcut the necessary and required work, ie a re-design from scratch.	zqwerty (97)

So in summation, the planes (737Max) were not airworthy and it was Boeing who was to blame. you seam to have things mixed up a bit. Boeing was always at fault, which i recall was mentioned in that thread (and others), and thats been known for a rather long time now. the conspiracy bit was that the Boeing 737 is a flawed design, which it certainly is not. it still is one of the safest planes around and is still being ordered and produced today. its been around so long that its a very well sorted aircraft (series). going to a completely new aircraft has a higher risk of making mistakes as it takes time to sort out any bugs. in fact the thing that caused the 737max crashes was an addon, the new bit was the problem not the old plane. just because its an old design does not mean there is anything wrong with it.	tweak'e (69)

1481962	2021-11-12 05:30:00	The Boeing 737 MAX is a flawed design which meant they had to make up a system which corrected for too large engines being mounted higher up on the wing for ground clearance, this caused the planes flight characteristics to be altered to the extent that it would have to be re-certified but rather than do this which would be expensive and take a longer time Boeing tried a hardware and software kludge called MCAS which they neglected to let the pilots know all they should do, lol. Nothing wrong with the Boeing 737 series but the MAX was a step too far on and old airframe like this to compete with Airbus. Boeing entirely and completely in the wrong from the stat of the MAX to the finish and then tried to avoid responsibility by blaming the pilots.	zqwerty (97)

1481964	2021-11-12 06:25:00	How Boeing’s 737 MAX Failed: www.wsj.com The replacement engines more powerful and more fuel efficient and physically larger could not be mounted correctly and were placed further forward and higher up on the wings to increase the ground clearance this caused the aircraft to exhibit a stalling characteristic which was compensated for by a modified MCAS which was not engineered correctly and was a disaster waiting to happen as we have seen. The engines being too large and too powerful mounted differently to previous engines in the 737 series caused the MAX version of 737 to be inherently unstable. The combination of MCAS, the engine positioning and pilots trying to intervene caused the planes path in the sky to be like a huge roller coaster before diving into the ground.	zqwerty (97)

The combination of MCAS, the engine positioning and pilots trying to intervene caused the planes path in the sky to be like a huge roller coaster before diving into the ground. not true at all, completely false, total misinformation. no doubt why your thread got deleted last time. the 737max is inherently stable. the ONLY reason for the MCAS system is the new engines cause it to be slightly different in handling (5% i think and only at extreme AOA) which means it fails FAA specs and would mean it would have to be classed as a new aircraft type. so basically a paper work issue. a simple fix is to throw MCAS out and cert it as a new aircraft, as its a STABLE aircraft and flies perfectly fine. with MCAS fixed, its all approved and back in the air. FAA and their overseas counterparts are not stupid enough to let an inherently unstable plane in the air. remember the MCAS system doesn't actually do anything whatsoever until the plane is at the limit of AOA and if the plane is at that limit the pilots have screwed up something major.	tweak'e (69)
1481966	2021-11-12 21:01:00	Boeing have admitted they were to blame, the plane was faulty. This is fact, the details can be found on the internet including details of how and why the two 737 MAX's crashed with the same characteristic roller coaster motion seen on the radar following the flight path after take off. The combination of all the factors introduced by Boeing made it inevitable that sooner or later the plane would crash and it did more than once with Boeing still denying responsibility until now.	zqwerty (97)
