The paper that this article cites is a far more interesting read than the summary: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1249KS8xtIDKb5SxgpeFI6AD-PSC6nFA5/view https:

  That's pretty awesome -- and chilling. His four seat Cessna's $20k avionics upgrade (which got automatic pitch regulation same as the Max) required more training and documentation than the multi-million 737 Max that killed 157 + 189 people. The 737 MAX is a dodgy design which probably ought to be banned.

  ... it’s written by a guy who uses flight simulators, this is crank stuff.

    The 757 flight simulator that I've flown was a full-motion flight simulator at UPS's Louisville training facility. I was helping conduct 6-month certification flights as co-pilot. I would say that if those simulators are good enough for UPS's 757 pilots' recurring training, they're good enough for this Cessna driver to understand that difference between his plane and a 757. Answer: Not that much.

      Greg - Serious question - How is that air frame on the Max8 faulty due to engine placement when the A320NEO has almost the same design?
      • salawat 8y ago
        Because the A320neo can fit the engines under instead of in front of the wings, thereby negating the nacelles contribution to leading edge flow separation.
        • GregTravis 8y ago
          Exactly. Except it’s not flow separation that is the problem. It’s the lift that the nacelles generate combined with their mass and moment far ahead of the center of gravity

            Yes, my mistake. Stated the outcome, not the action that gets you there.

  Interesting read, but he's still wrong.
