I wonder if thrust vectoring could be of use here? I know it's primarily a military technology now, but maybe the MAX can be saved by having engines that slightly divert their thrust in very specific situations to offset this undesirable effect?
- zaroth 7y agoFor this to be stable it would seem very elegant if you could design this in such a way that it occurred in equilibrium with any undesirable lift generated by the nascelles. As supposed to an active measure controlled by electronics based on a separate AoA sensor, if somehow the lift caused the engine the thrust vector in opposition to the lift as a matter of physics. I mean, in theory there’s nothing to say inherently such a design would be more reliable than triple redundant sensors and a bunch of code, but that would be pretty neat.
