It is interesting how in times of crisis, people start looking for a heavy handed, authoritative response to the situation. Moderates will be brushed aside as weak and impotent. I do not disagree with you on the point that China's resp

I was also wondering why they would have me watch someone's dirty keyboard, sunrise and other apparently meaningless motifs. The scene with the keyboard with crumbs and hairs tells me that they do not respect their own product enough.

The cynical among us can view this as an opportunity to invest in honey. Clearly the bigger problem is that bees are one of a kind pollinators, without them we will probably starve in large numbers. But I wish my grandchildren would have th

This is worrying. I presume they have some scrubbers at least? Despite all the global warming alarms, the Earth is still a thermally open system. In terms of toxic materials, pollutants and interesting new molecules, Earth is a closed syste

As far as I have been able to gather, the MCAS software performed exactly to spec. You may have been drawn to the Boeing straw man narrative "the software was faulty (we can fix it)".

Seems like a passive-aggressive PR scheme to still try to indirectly lay blame on the dead pilots. Despicable.

I spent some of my best years bootstrapping a business (trying to avoid the word "startup"), growing steady each year 30-50%. No hockey stick so far, but our customers are happy and the product rocks. 1) It is hard, properly HARD.

The 737 stabilizer trim is actuated by steel cables running from the nose of the aircraft to the tail, guided by pulleys [1]. The same cables also make the wheels spin when the stab trim motors are running. [1] http://aerossuranc

By regulation, when a system fails (as designed) the pilot MUST be able to recover: - in 3 seconds when in cruise - in 1 second when on approach - when in the landing phase - immediately! Such a system would be certifiable. Most modern airl

You are correct in it being counter-intuitive and seemingly opposing the desired outcome. You need to recognize the situation fast and know precisely what you are doing. Unenviable position to be in at 500ft AGL.

Incorrect, this describes a typical General Aviation aircraft with trim tabs. Most (all?) airliners use a trimmable tailplane, meaning the entire tailplane tilts up and down to trim for a specific speed.

I guess you can think of it like so: 1. The confuser commands a nose down trim, this means that the leading edge of the tailplane is raised. In actuality, this represents a decreased angle of attack (think of tailplane as a upside-down wing

The current "industry standard" is 1 accident per 10 million flights. I think the MAX 8 has racked up something around 150K flights with 2 accidents. So yes, the statistics represent an anomaly.
