Only Boeing could come up with a safety system with same acronym as an autoimmune disorder. Which is kind of ironic really cos they both injure people. you’ve got to wonder how these things ever get off the drawing board. “I know, I’ve had a great idea, let’s strap huge oversized engines to the tiny outdated 737 rather than design a new airframe. “ “ but won’t that make it fly like a bag of carp and make the nose pitch up all the time” “Yes but don’t worry we will simply get the computers to take over the pitch of the aircraft” “Won’t that annoy the pilots” “No” “How come?” “We won’t tell them” “Genius, sign me up” “One more thing, won’t the pilots need expensive simulator training?” “Nah, we’ve knocked up a quick PowerPoint presentation to show them at coffee break” “Job done, we killed it”
"Reckon we should develop a brand new aircraft to meet future needs?" " Nope. We'd need to have that certified. Just keep sticking bits on that thing we designed in the 1960s. It'll be fine"
I’m pretty sure most of Boeing’s top designers will get new jobs at whirlpool. What could possibly go wrong?
I bet it still handles better than my bus does in the wind though. Perhaps I could offer Boeing pilot drives along the A30 to Cornwall as cheap simulator training...... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
