Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'll bite:
The 747 MAX that killed 346 people in two separate accidents and was grounded for nearly two years and cost Boeing 10's of billions of dollars in fines, cancelled orders, etc.?
It is perhaps not the best example of modifications to an existing design.
- walrus01 4y agoAll because they didn't want to completely redesign the landing gear, to give it a higher ride height, which would allow the engines to be put at a normal position under the wing, thereby permitting a normal center of thrust axis. Just to keep the existing faa certification.
