Just like 95% of airliners. In fact the Max engine thrust line is higher and closer to the datum than most.
The Max's problem is not thrust line, it is additional lift generated by the forward-mounted engine nacelles at high AoA which reduces stick-load and makes pitch-up to a stall likely. Nothing to do with thrust.

Correct. >The Max's problem is not thrust line, it is additional lift generated by the forward-mounted engine nacelles at high AoA which reduces stick-load and makes pitch-up to a stall likely. Nothing to do with thrust. Nothing you've written here contradicts what I wrote previously, so I'm not sure if you're just aggressively agreeing with me, but I'll assume that this is the case. Yes, the aircraft is dangerous at high AoA, as I wrote in my previous comment.
- rocqua 8y agoIs it the ammount of lift of the nacelles or the forward position of this extra lift?
- usrusr 8y agoBoth: the position changed because the size changed.

Nothing to do with thrust. Pitching up on thrust was a problem with the 737 Classic, why wouldn't it be a problem on the MAX?
