First, the 787 Debacle. Now, the programming in the MAX. (I think this is more software than hardware error). Who is programming this thing, anyway?
My new car has a lane departure signal, that jiggles the steering wheel if you go over a traffic lane designation. It can be defeated, but it was very odd when it occurs, especially to the uninitiated.
I get the sense that, rather than design from the ground up, Boeing did it on the cheap, and just extended the 737 to its least logical conclusions. Maybe the FAA should look into that, and give Boeing a slap.
Oh, and maybe Boeing should get some new engineers. I know an anesthesiologist who has her MS in Aerospace Engineering from MIT.
