re: Flawed analysis, failed oversight: How Boeing, FAA certified the suspect 737 MAX

One of the interesting things I’ve read about this is how, in a round about way, it is our environment of OVER regulation that led to this plane even existing as it does. Basically Boeing is using a 60s era airplane and constantly trying to update IT because the regulatory framework makes it all but impossible to now introduce a new ‘from the ground up’ plane design. Part of the flaw here is in the design of the plane itself, and the way the engines have to be configured so low.
