Boeing tells lawmakers that safety assessments of 737 Max fell short
In a fiery hearing, Senators are grilling Boeing's CEO about the 737 Max after two crashes.Boeing's chief engineer says in hindsight the assumptions were wrong.
In a fiery hearing on Capitol Hill, Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington, the state where the 737 Max is made, asked Boeing's CEO Dennis Muilenburg and the commercial airplane unit's chief engineer whether its safety assumptions and assessments were wrong. At issue is a flight-control system known as MCAS that malfunctioned on both flights because it received erroneous data from a faulty sensor. The sensor measures the angle of attack, or the angle of the plane relative to oncoming air. If the nose is pointed too high, the plane could stall, so the system automatically pushes the nose of the planes down.
