Are you sure ? I though it wanted to pitch up when engines where at full throttle, not because of angles of attack.

- Gibbon1 7y agoI think what I've read is the engine nacelles create lift at higher angles of attack. Because the nacelles are larger and located more forward than in older models. That's the source of the extra lift. Might also be the engines also contribute. On the other hand I'm just a bystander in all this.
- hhas01 7y agoAlso consider the position of the thrust point relative to the plane’s center of gravity. Being positioned below and ahead of the CoG, the engines naturally try to push the plane around it, i.e. nose-up. Mind you, my physics ed stopped after high school (though even that much is enough to do a double-take at MAX). This looks like a much better explanation: https://www.quora.com/Where-should-the-center-of-mass-lift-and-thrust-be-on-a-jet https://www.quora.com/Where-should-the-center-of-mass-lift-a...
