So Boeing actually agrees with her and 'blesses' the endeavor? Boeing welcomes foreign nations to share in the technological knowledge that decades of American hard work has produced.....so I guess welcoming Airbus into the state makes sense. This whole mess smells very odd to say the least.

Another opportunity to screw up a child with that disgusting family. What a sad lot they are.

All you are doing is digging your hole deeper. You assumptions that the 737 must have been inherently 'weak' because the new MAX design needed strengthening is completely without any merit, evidence, or thought.
The information, as I stated came from an internet search, is accurate. The rotor burst comment about strengthening the fuselage came directly from a Boeing source and is published in a technical piece from an aviation publication. You wish to dispute the article then as I've stated before....look it up. For having 35 years (as you claim) 'in and around aircraft' you would think you would have a grasp about why any aircraft might require strengthening after getting newly designed engines placed closer and more forward on the wing, as well as longer gear to accommodate the engines. Your so called 35 years around aircraft (which means nothing) could be that you are a store clerk in the corner of the plant. You sure are good at putting your foot in your mouth.

I don't know why you've gotten thumbs down.....but I agree with you. Let's see....my brother died in this river....so why don't I jump into it from a fifty foot cliff!!
I'm sorry for the family's loss but at some point you just have to wonder what thought process goes on in some folks mind.

Instead of 'wondering' why don't you look up the information on the internet? A quick search revealed that the strengthening in the wing is needed because of the positioning of the new engines as well as the weight. Perfectly good reason, don't you think? Also, the 8" extension of the new gear requires that it also be somewhat strengthened. Make any sense to you? Lastly, the fuselage sections 43 and 44 will be strengthened because the new engines are in a different position on the wing....and in case of a rotor burst failure, Boeing is making sure that the aircraft has a measure of safety.
Geesh guy....next time just LOOK IT UP.

I agree to a certain extent. However, millions in developing a new nose to replace a design from the early sixties may pay off in extra orders. Why? Well, I'm certain that the aerodynamics could be improved upon, thereby saving fuel....and that is a highly desirable thing from the customers point of view. And like it or not, the aesthetics of an aircraft DO matter. A new nose reminiscent of the 787 says that Boeing went the extra mile to modernize the aircraft. One thing Airbus has always done is harp on how dated the 737 is.
Anyway....it was just my opinion.
