Sources told Reuters the Boeing internal messages raised questions about the performance of the so-called MCAS anti-stall system that has been tied to the two fatal crashes in five months. Boeing declined to immediately comment.
Let's see??? Could it be that some engineers finally admitted, to one another, that LEAP engines mounted so high on that 1960s wing couldn't reliably be compensated by software. And that the real fix is to extend the landing gear so that the engines are under the wing and off the damn tarmac? Ya think?
The FAA said it found the messages "concerning" and "is reviewing this information to determine what action is appropriate."
How much lying has been going on??? I guess we'll find out soon.
[update]
Yet more reporting.
"This is the smoking gun," Representative Peter DeFazio, Democrat of Oregon, said in an interview. "This is no longer just a regulatory failure and a culture failure. It's starting to look like criminal misconduct."
So, was the plane fine and the simulator broken? Or the simulator worked as designed, and showed the plane was unstable?
Yeah think Boeing's gonna get a break?
