Thanks. Is the 777x similar in concept to the 737 Max? Meaning, they tried to fit larger more fuel efficient engines onto the fuselage but had to reinforce/enlarge the wings and reposition the engines to accommodate?
Do not know about that.
The 777X does not appear to have that particular aerodynamic stability problem - but the issue of an uncommanded downward pitch initiated by the flight control software is similar. Maybe it’s just a minor glitch and easy to fix, but given the 737 MAX crashes happened so recently the FAA has no choice but to put on a display of hyper-cautiousness.
