There's nothing wrong with having a low wing design, but the original 737 airframe was designed for turbojets(much smaller cowling). That was the 737-200. The landing gear is short and can't be increased in height without redesigning the entire center spar carry through. That's the same effort(or more) than designing a brand new aircraft. The latter choice would have been cheaper than the current kludge. |

(OP) User ID: 75472325 United States 01/07/2020 02:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | all the successful aircraft have low wings except one , the bae 146 . why is high wing better op ? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78267567 Again it should be obvious. There would be all the room in the world for those 737max8 engines on the AN-158, take a look. I mean, if Boeing really doesn't have the brains or talent to design and build aircraft any more, maybe they should just become a holding company and buy airplanes from Russia and Ukraine. All the room in the world and it wouldn't be vacuuming up dust and debris from the runway and people wouldn't be calling it "the vacuum cleaner"....

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77156056 WELL TRAINED AMERICAN PILOTS HAD NO CRASHES! Pay your money and take your chances with ANY OTHER “providers” ! Most American pilots - even those who only fly small planes, learn to fly "stick and rudder". Any computer shit is taught later. Many foreign pilots skip the skills stuff and learn to run the automated flight systems. The copilot on one of the crashed aircraft had only 200 hours total flight time. I've had more than four times that and I only fly small single engine aircraft. Stick and rudder flying, real and imminent stalls, spins, crosswind and gusty landings, etc., are where piloting skills shine or not. |

Pay your money and take your chances with ANY OTHER “providers” ! I was told by an American Airlines pilot that the issue is the new pilots coming in are more instrument readers than former military pilots. They do not have the ability to compensate for problems. |
