The documents were released during a House questioning of Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg after two fatal crashes.

House lawmakers are questioning Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg.Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of Boeing, arrives to testify during the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing in Hart Building on aviation safety and the future of the Boeing 737 MAX on Tuesday, October 29, 2019.

In 2015, more than a year before the planes were certified by federal regulators, a Boeing engineer asked whether a flight-control system that was involved in both deadly crashes, was safe because it relied on a single sensor. The 737 Max crashes — one in Indonesia in October 2018 followed by another in Ethiopia in March — has prompted Boeing to revamp the system to rely on two sensors.

The document, obtained in an investigation of the planes by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, was released during the hearing, the second of two days of testimony by Boeing's CEO Dennis Muilenburg on Capitol Hill this week.The jets have been grounded worldwide since the second fatal crash in March. Together, the crashes killed all 346 people on the two flights.
