I just flew on a 737 Max. That engine cowling sure is huge!

Hunka hunka engine in there.
About those huge engines . . . I read awhile back, about the time of those notorious crashes, that in effect the body of the 737 Max was based on an earlier model, but with huge new, more-efficient engines. But when the engines were mounted to the wings there was too little clearance when taxiing. Oops! Rather than go to the trouble of changing things around to accommodate the engines, they simply scooted the engines in closer to the fuselage, which made controlling the plane much trickier, nevermind the software programming. Even to a layman this seems unnecessarily risky.
