There is nothing wrong with using software to correct for instability; the B-2 Spirit is far less aerodynamically stable then the Max and it's only had one crash in its entire 23 year service history.
Boeing failed to provide sufficient redundancy for the MCAS system and proper training to the air crews.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoIt wouldn't surprise me, though, if in its entire service history, the B-2 has had fewer total flights than the 737 Max has...
- jellicle 6y agoOne way to look at it is that 5% of all B-2s ever built have crashed.
