Agree, though the investigators also pointed to the lack of a clear display of the airspeed inconsistencies even though the computers had identified them. This sounds more like a UX problem rather than a bug, but still the software issue in

While it is easy to blame Boeing these days, I suspect we have survivorship bias here. Dig into Airbus software and all sorts of similar scary bugs will pop up. For instance, one may remember inconsistencies between airspeed measurements th

I had followed this case closely. Initially they accused a boy with directing crowds during Moscow protests on July 27, there was a video evidence. He was arrested and put into jail. Meanwhile prosecutors admitted that the guy on the video

Official sources deny it, from Wikipedia Aeroflot 1492: The information that evacuation was delayed because some passengers grabbed their baggage have not been confirmed. According to TASS's law enforcement source the majority of passe

They had to install MCAS because the plane was unstable in high AoA mode, i.e. during takeoff. And it was unstable because larger CFM engines could not fit under the wing anymore so they had to put it further forward and a bit up. This in

It strikes me how a seemingly insignificant decision at the time - to position fuselage slightly higher above the ground - gave Airbus a strategic advantage 50 years later. It forced the competitor into a services of unexplainable and reckl
