Here is the question I have long had about the 737 Max. What kind of company would even build a plane with engines so big and far forward that by DESIGN it needs to have software to prevent a potential high-speed stall. Why even build such a plane?
I write this because for months now there is talk of a struggle for the right software fix for this plane--and the challenging of getting it approved by safety teams. Why is a software fix the solution? Is it a solution. Just wondering.
I do know the history: Boeing rushed to get 737Max in the air so it could compete against a new Airbus plane. But that is not an answer.
