Bro how many airplane memes do you have
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you
Ever seen a grown man naked?
What do you make of this?
wait why did I get roped in
Someone was ready for the 373 max decline
I had ADHD hyperfixation about the two 737 Max crashes happened about four years ago and researched the fuck out of it. Never thought I'd be pulling these memes out of cold storage. Unbelievable. Same company, same airplane, four years later. I hope they get sued to hell and back.
I greatly admire your meme archival process.
All the memes I stole in the past five years are scattered across several devices in various download and screenshot folders, unlabeled and impossible to search through.
iOS and Android have text search on images now. You may be able to go digging now if you can get them all on one device
These were literally the first posts I ever archived on Instagram so they were super easy to find.
Care to explain?
To add to the other comment. The airframe was different enough were it would have to be listed as a different type of plane. This means that any airline looking to buy the 737 max would have to train all of their pilots on this frame, which is comes at a huge cost and would reduce airlines incentive to buy it. So what did Boeing do? Somehow they managed to convince regulators that the 737 Max is no different than the 757, so pilots would not need new training, they just needed to watch a few videos on the new platform. However, this was a complete lie, the 737 Max had engines that were bigger and were sitting further back in the fuselage, this gave the 737 Max a tendency to pitch upward. To counteract this, and to help Boeing sell their lie, the program their software to counteract this issue (the MCAS, which is not the autopilot). So this software gave the illusion that the 737 flies like the 757 (hence why pilots wouldn't need new training). However, Boeing installed only a single sensor to detect if the plane pitched upwards, in two cases the sensors failed and told the plane that it was pitching upwards when in fact it was flying straight. This caused the plane to go into a nosedive, and because MCAS was not autopilot the pilots had no idea what was happening, let alone how to turn it off. Which resulted in two airplane crashes in the span of a few months that killed everyone on board.
I remember reading this news story when it happened and this is still a better explanation
They took an existing airframe and slapped bigger engines on it. That's what led to all the issues with the nose up tendency a few years back. I thought they took the existing 737 airframe, but it could have been a 757. Both are narrow bodies I think.
So the boulder is aerodynamics?
The boulder is the MCAS software that would put the plane into a nosedive without the pilot being able to override it.
