You mean that the engineers quietly analyzed the test flight data and decided to increase the parameters on their own, so that the flight data show similarity between a MAX and a NG ?
I find it so huge that it is hard to believe. Unless they took SW guys with no clue about how to do their jobs, like fresh graduate with no mentoring, or even outsourced to a SW shop ?
I would never take responsability of such a change without even talking to the pilots about it.
It is hundred timed worse than the VW engineers who cheated the homologation test.
- Anarch157a 7y ago"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence". In VW's case, it's clear as day that it was malice and greed. In Boeings case, I was willing to write it down as incompetence at first, but as time goes by, I'm becoming more inclined to put it on the malice bin.
- SallySwanSmith 7y agoIsn’t most/all of Boeing’s development done overseas now? I wonder if that divide makes it easier to assume this is okay.
- xiphias2 7y agoVW has a much bigger silent impact of millions of people dying every year, while Boeing has probably less than 1000 people killed from this mistake. The danger of air pollution and global warming is that it's so hard to quantify the effects, but we already know that it's huge.
