What I’ve learned from these 737 discussions: Anyone who uses the term “inherently unstable” is an armchair aerospace engineer. It’s such a vague weasely term.

- petilon 7y agoWould you prefer "insufficiently stable" instead? The kinds of mistakes Boeing made are so basic that even laypersons can immediately understand it. Like not having redundant sensors. Like fixing a hardware problem using software. See this video about the plane's tendency to pitch up at low speed and full thrust. That's "insufficiently stable"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p5sboD2oO8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p5sboD2oO8
