Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg accepts blame for two plane crashes and says the 737 MAX will be among the safest airplanes ever to fly
We at Boeing are sorry for the lives lost in the recent 737 MAX accidents. These tragedies continue to weigh heavily on our hearts and minds, and we extend our sympathies to the loved ones of the passengers and crew on board Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. All of us feel the immense gravity of these events across our company and recognize the devastation of the families and friends of the loved ones who perished. (www.airlive.net) More...
if the 737-max can't fly without the MCAS it will never be the safest aircraft to fly. It will be the most dangerous aircraft to fly because it can't fly without that technology. You want to have a safe aircraft don't put oversized engines on something that ain't made for it.
Good point - but you could say the same thing about any control surface - it it needs a rudder it ain't safe. Fly by wire engineering has advanced aeronautics considerably - look at the recent space-x launch / recovery for example
in contrary of all the others aircrafts, the 737max (out of power) would probably doesn't glide enough to save lifes. They will need to show it somehow to prove that the plane is safe enough.
If you own stock in Boeing, good luck trying to unload it.
