It is true from what I understand of the crashes that the MCAS system was created to comply with regulations. Specifically it was created to comply with regulations surrounding a flight manoeuvre that would never actually occur on a real flight. > Engineers determined that on the MAX, the force the pilots feel in the control column as they execute this maneuver would not smoothly and continuously increase. Pilots who pull back forcefully on the column — sometimes called the stick — might suddenly feel a slackening of resistance. An FAA rule requires that the plane handle with smoothly changing stick forces. So, if those regulations had not existed then MCAS would not have been needed and the planes may not have crashed. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/times-watchdog/the-inside-story-of-mcas-how-boeings-737-max-system-gained-power-and-lost-safeguards/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/times-watchdog/the...
