Boeing 737 Max could be grounded for months, says airline body

Airbus huat ah !

 

Between A320 and 737, the A320 is way more comfortable, wider fuselage and therefore better seat width.

 

 

It's not like the olden days where the regulator or aviation authority can do a review and think through, analyze using engineering, error analysis or probability tools to determine if a new aircraft model was safe or not. In those days, the mechanisms of the aircraft were all laid bare and what-if situations could be analyzed down to the last detail, allowing the authority to say if it is safe with a fair degree of confidence.

 

Nowadays aircraft are mostly electronics and software driven, and the architecture and logic programming of all the circuits cannot be physically seen. In terms of design it is now so complex that the authority is no longer an expert able to confidently assess the safety of the design. So they rely on the expert engineers of the manufacturer, and even these guys can make a mistake sometimes. That's why until now, who will dare to lay his reputation on the line and declare the aircraft is safe after all the modifications?

heng ah! LTA don involve for flying object.. imagine if a new plane model need to go through homologation here..

 

Anyway as human/engineers yes we made mistake.. but if it is a cover up to get the model to mkt sooner than it shld then it is wrong..

Doubt that SG has expertise for air transport certification independently as we don't have any design and manufacturing of aircraft here. Not even assembly line. Except maybe small scale military projects.

 

So here it's mostly giving a stamp to the approvals already granted by the big brother regulators like the FAA, or EASA.

 

Let's not talk about air transport, even automotive assembly or manufacturing is non-existent.

 

Our regulators' knowledge is mainly textbook, or operating experience - not from ground-up design philosophy and principles.

quick question

 

B737-800 is totally different from B737 Max 8, right!
