Boeing To Add New Angle Of Attack Sensors To The MAX Fleet Beginning With The MAX - 10

Boeing announced they have added enhanced Angle Of Attack sensors to the as yet to be released 737 MAX-10. Testing is set to begin in 2022 and if that checks out the rest of the MAX fleet will be upgraded.

Boeing seems to playing this up as a good thing. In reality it is years late and cost over 300 lives and wouldn't have been implemented at all without FAA pressure. All so they can skimp on pilot training and recertification as a new type. If the new sensor is that good, why will it take years to retro fit? In mission critical systems eg spacecraft, there are multiple redundant sensors that can be polled to identify errors.

A very wise decision but it shouldn’t have taken this long

[kkiller]

I think the enhanced sensors are a result of the AIRLINES having doubts about the "improvements" so far. The FAA is happy with the status quo (the FAA is always happy with the status quo)

Good old Boeing, they've had their best accountants working overtime to overcome this design and engineering problem.

[dbn]

Good information Love You video this is David from Atlanta keep up the good work

Nice pose Mike the deer in headlights stare and corporate smirk I've seen it many times at Boeing. That was a classic poster child "trust me" while he was about to run you over with a bus.

Boeing, “Penny Wise, Pound Foolish.”

[cloudsplitter]

About time…..I can’t imagine what their system safety department was thinking allowing that system to be fielded as originally designed…

[larrybrown]

LOL, YouTube Rabbit Hole, that is so true and accurate!

I don't know if I would ever feel confidence flying in a Boeing aircraft again. What with the 737max and all the problems with the 787 Dreamliner.

Got a Travel Advisory notification. The airline decided to upgrade the flight I'm flying on the day after tomorrow to a Max. Lucky me.

[davidcorbett]

It’s just amazing that such an experienced aircraft builder could mess up on such a level!! The max was rushed through after many “bent” regulators where looked after by Boeing and over 300 innocent people paid for that. Badly built Badly designed is just two of the errors made by Boeing and I am being generous. Yes the max will be flown all over the world have it’s name changed etc etc but won’t everyone be just a little nervous once onboard and wishing they where on an A320 NEO

Might want to correct your title today. Thanks for the update Maximus.

As a customer, how can you see the plane programmed for your flight?
I've seen people say they won't fly on a particular plane, but as far as I recall you only know at the last minute.

[jtjames]

Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites used a copy of X-Plane, to force White Knight (carrier aircraft) to fly with the same characteristics as Spaceship One.

That was a long time ago now. Physical AOE sensors should have been superfluous a long long time ago. Particularly analog vain sensors.

Yet more "not invented here".

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

[tomstravels]

Newer Airbus now have enhanced AOA monitoring that cross checks the AOA data from the 3 sensors with the load factor. If the load factor changes but AOA does not then there is a potential problem with that sensor and it will be rejected by the flight control computers. Newer A320/A330 are also now using synthetic airspeed like the A350 and many more have had the predecessor BUSS available for years

[DashPar]

Meanwhile, if Boeing had added a second AoA sensor as standard equipment, this would have all been avoided. Dear Boeing bean counters, how did that $3, 000 savings per aircraft pan out??? 🤪

[Blank]

Why don't they test it on the MAX 7 (AKA the MAX variant that isn't getting delayed as extensively)?

[dondepicaelpeje]

After hundred of lives and billion of dollars, Boeing will do what everybody knew they have to did in first place 🤦🏻‍♂️

[hewhohasnoidentity]

Boeing managed to make a public statement without claiming there is no immediate risk to flight safety. I wonder if someone finally told them the phrase wasn't helping the company image.
