> The pitch-up characteristic of the MAX 8 is less strong than of e.g. the 757 and that plane flies just fine. The 757 ( and 737NG etc ) has constant pitch rat

> The pitch-up characteristic of the MAX 8 is less strong than of e.g. the 757 and that plane flies just fine. The 757 ( and 737NG etc ) has constant pitch rate. The Max does not, which is the root of the problem. The actual forces involved aren't pertinent.
