That regulation seems to be at a static thrust level right?
> 75 percent of maximum continuous power for reciprocating engines or the maximum power or thrust selected by the applicant as an operating limitation for use during climb for turbine engines; and
Wouldn't that give a stable pitch response because the thrust relative to the center of mass is constant? Also if the MCAS is always pushing the plane out of the given AoA (which seems to be what it's logic is, if AoA > x trim down until AoA < x) would that be considered outside the flight envelope anyways? The stick force curve goes screwy for every aircraft in a stall.
- Zak 7y agoIt's an aerodynamic issue with the 737 MAX: the engine cowlings themselves produce lift at a high angle of attack, and the engines are mounted farther forward than they are on other 737s.
