- bigiain 7y agoThat depends a bit on the "engine problem". This is, to my layman's understanding, could be considered an "engine problem" because how the newer more fuel efficient engines with their bigger bypass fans don't fit under the wings of the 737. That's not an engine manufacturers problem. (It makes more sense to classify it as an airframe design compromise problem, but it's about those big fat geared turbofans not working with the little landing gear legs which let them get the doors down nice and low, but put the wings too close to the ground to fit the more modern engines.)
- blackflame7000 7y agoWhy are you talking about the 737 when the response was to the design of the 777x which is the largest boeing not the smallest so talking about the engines under the wing doesnt make sense in the context.
