When will Boeing make orders again with the 737 Max?
First, there are two Max crashes from its new Boeing 737 Max. Then there was found faulty assumption for the MCAS system compensating the Max 737 configured design for plane balance (hence engine too far forward of central balance point). MCAS forced the nose down then up as they were headed into the surface. Boeing had one sensor outfitted for handling characteristic augmentation of flight control, for which pilots were not aware of at the time of crashes. Finally, there was COVID -19 pandemic were airlines stopped ordering for fleet expansion events in a two-year period as the world shut down travel. Boeing was gobbed smacked!
But is Max a good airplane? Yes! It is when it is ready for a sale. Boeing must abandon the 737 concepts to have a chance. It must come out with an NMA, bridging the 737 gaps between the 737, NMA, and 787-800. It would beat the A321-A330 NEO competition with Airbus. That is the Boeing dilemma at this time. No market with current line-up and no money to risk a fight against Airbus but there is hope going forward. Boeing has the technology, it can apply to regain the ground it lost in the above-mentioned set backs.
It will roll out in 2025 with a type of aircraft called the NMA Max 797 announcement for a dual aisle multi-role aircraft for the smaller of its line of aircraft. Dual aisle-duel engine 180-240 seat NMA landing in Billings, Montana, or having a Las Vegas, Nevada range of 5,000 miles, in all directions. Good-bye, 737 Max, Hello NMA 797.
