[Ipg-smz] What Really Brought Down the Boeing 737 Max?

[Patrick Corrigan]

IMO, this was an attempted software fix for a hardware design problem. They
shifted the engines forward because they were too large to fit under the
wing, changing the balance of the plane. I suspect it will cost Boeing
billions to get this plane flying again, if they ever do.
