Airbus has been doing it for a while. The big difference between Airbus and Boeing has been how much more reliance Airbus places on technologies like MCAS vs straight up pilot skill.
Airbus has designed their planes to counteract bugs by adding tremendous amounts of redundancies. The Max is Boeing’s effort at creating an Airbus like plane without the redundantsafety features.
- rayhendricks 7y agoThat is why I refuse to fly in anything that has Boeing on the side of it. Based on the 737 max fiasco and previous incidents they it looks like they are willing to make compromises in safety for profit. The regulatory agencies including the FAA here in the USA are captured and thus irrelevant, and the attempt to fix them died https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture#Federal_Aviation_Administration https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture#Federal_A... Unless we see fines based on a percentage of revenue or the CEO/Board of Boeing being thrown in prison, then we won’t see change.
