Our New Max;
The latest iteration will have additional insulation for a far quieter flight.
The material is made of nano-structured anhydrous magnesium carbonate.
The trade name is Upsalite. This material is also one of the world’s most
absorbent material’s, capable of absorbing several hundred times its weight.
The new model will have the designation 737-10X Max Pad.
Not only will the aircraft be quieter, lighter and more fuel efficient
It will also absorb all Bio hazards on impact greatly reducing the cost
of clean-up. This latest version was inspired by high customer demand
Because at Boeing we listen.
Maybe we could rename the 737 Max to A732 that way were ahead of Airbus
Southwest could paint over their Max fleet and label them as A320's
Most would never know
Time To Rebrand: A fresh coat of paint covers a multitude of sins.

To rule and to profit from it
You must keep the masses fed, ignorant and entertained
Good put ID10T poet.
Boeing has become risk averse to a fault. They talk a good game about "cutting edge" but when you get on one of those programs they want to "reuse" as much as possible and it has to be "flawless execution" (meaning you can't fail.
If you want to be cutting edge, you have to spend money and you HAVE to be allowed to fail. None of the world's game changing technology came with flawless execution.
Maybe it can and will change.

I do not see Layoffs at this time for the 737 line.
Only because of global demand at this time,
However fortunes can change on a dime.
IMO: Boeing is behind the curve by ten years in this class of aircraft.
Strange considering the value this type brings to the BCA portfolio.
Clearly all of our current circumstances are rooted in poor leadership.
When considering hindsight And a clear view of Airbus developments.
There is no excuse for the lack of forward thinking in top management.
@11GG4pt9-zqc
Airbus and the rest of the world Saw and See opportunity in this space.
Because of Boeing's lack of investment in this class, others look to challenge
the status quo because they believe we can be caught.
If BCA had its own board of directors, focused solely on this industry
Then maybe no one would have dared try to compete in this space.
Had Boeing kept-up with engineering and innovation by producing a
- A320-NEO of its own the Max would not be, 346 people would be
And Boeing would hold 70 plus percent of the market.
Is it too late to break-up the aerospace monopoly? I think so.
Because Boeing is focused on owning everything
They seem unable to focus on anything
Boeing buys ForeFlight – what comes next?

There is beauty and simplicity to the Southwest Airlines business model.
It’s the KISS principle, something not found in the Max model.
