BOEING 737 MAX DISASTER2
Introduction
Boeing stands out to be largest and leading manufacturer in the domain of commercial
space, system and service provider of airplane. This stands out to be as one of the biggest
manufacturing exporter and supporter of airline industry. It has been allied with most of the
government bodies located in 150 countries. Boeing products and tailored service are inclusive
of the military and commercial system (Johnston and Harris 2019). The generation of talented
Boeing employees helps in building the largest aerospace organization on global platform.
Boeing 737 max stand out to be fasted selling airplane in the history of Boeing which has around
5000 orders from more 100 customers on a worldwide platform. 737 max family has been
designed for providing great flexibility, efficiency and reliability in the current market (Vargas-
Hernández and Martínez 2019). Each of the airplane will have new Boeing sky interior which is
provided by current sculpted sidewalls.
In the coming pages of the report, the design of Boeing 737 max has been discussed. The
next part deals with the design process of MCAS. The last part deals with factors that contributed
to the disaster.
Design of Boeing 737 Max
737 Max model stand out to be the fourth generation of Boeing 737 which come up with
re-engined leap turbofans. Boeing 737 max stand out to be the fourth generation of Boeing 737
which is a narrow body airline (Bergstra and Burgess 2020). The company Boeing has been
found that it can build something better. The whole concept aims to be seen as a culture of
Boeing culture of improvement (Zhongda and Mingguang 2018). For most of the commercial

airplane manufacturer like Boeing, the change in product is completely driven by the need for
developing marketing condition.
Boeing does not come up with new ideas, instead of pouring its resources into the
incremental design. The senior executives at Boeing already knew the point that the design
would not work in case of large engines (Cruz and de Oliveira Dias 2020). Boeing does not look
into the short-term risk in this new system implementation for long term gain. Boeing lacks any
plan of building an airplane right from scratch. Boeing did one of the safe things and
implemented the MCAS in the current 737 airplane. The whole airplane industry has
encountered a lack of innovation (Zhongda and Mingguang 2018). In the last 70 years, the basic
design of airplane has not changed. When innovation completely disappear, organization are
incentivized the kind of behavior that lead to 737 Max crash.
On March 2019, Boeing 737 max aircraft which is operated by Ethiopian Airlines
crashed soon after six minutes of launch. It was reported through the initial investigation that
incidents can draw no official conclusion with respect to Boeing aircraft or system. On through
investigation, Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System used in the Boing plan stand
out to be the main culprit (Bergstra and Burgess 2019). Proper investigation of two crashes and
problem in aircraft have ultimately resulted in the deployment of the MCAS system as the main
issue. Proper assessment and testing of different resources in the different investigation have
resulted in certain number of issues. It merely focused on the way in which Boeing is developed,
designed and lastly deployed using MCAS. In addition, improper training and education to pilots
and crew for system experience within the aircraft. Before the implementation of safety
certificate and release of 737 Max, Boeing chief pilot has warned its colleagues regarding MCAS
