NG is the previous generation to the MAX.
- natch 6y agoThanks, so without the preposterous modifications that made the Max unstable... good to know.
- Aloha 6y agoThe max didn't crash because of aerodynamic reasons, heck, without MCAS, it was a perfectly stable, flyable airplane. (It just didn't fly like a 737 without it) The issue is the stability augmentation system (MCAS) pitched the thing into the ground in the most critical phase of flight, takeoff.
- sofixa 6y agoIt doesn't fly like a 737 without MCAS, and has a tendency to stall under certain conditions ( unlike previous 737s), hence the MCAS was present ( and very poorly made). You can say the 737 Maxes crashed due to aerodynamic reasons, since that was the only reason the buggy MCAS existed.
