There are many FR threads on the MAX accidents. This article is long but contains a lot of information, including 29 failures Boeing made on the MAX. I highly recommend reading the entire article.

The following link also contains a lot of good information. In particular, it describes what MCAS is and what it supposed to do. Also, highly recommend reading.

www.b737.org.uk/mcas.htm

I am not familiar with wordpress.com...FR rules required this to be posted in the blogger section.

Overview of many failures by Boeing in designing the Boeing 737 MAX

In the "old" days, the Boeing CEO would already be toast. These days, he'll probably get a giant bonus.

It's essentially turned into what happened to the Lockheed L-188 Electra--a design fault caused a number of serious crashes. Lockheed had to modify at great expense the L-188's already in service and on the production line the engine nacelles to stop a peculiar engine vibration that caused those crashes. Interestingly, while Lockheed failed with the L-188, the P-3 Orion derived from the L-188 went on to great success with the US Navy. I wouldn't be surprised that a derivative of the 737 MAX (but with a different wing) becomes the next-generation version of the P-8 Poseidon ASW plane.

Am I the only one who finds that blog page virtually unreadable due to their choice of font, font size, and color? Helps if you zoom in on it to increase the font size, but grey on white is not really an ideal color combination.
