Boeing 737 Max Software Fix And Report On Fatal Crash Expected This WeekEnlarge this image toggle caption Mulugeta Ayene/AP Mulugeta Ayene/APBoeing says it has a software fix ready for its 737 MAX airplanes that will be unveiled to airline officials, pilots and aviation authorities from around the world Wednesday, as the aircraft manufacturer works to rebuild trust among its customers and the flying public following two fatal crashes of the planes in recent months. Those developments come as transportation authorities in Ethiopia prepare to release preliminary findings on the cause of the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane earlier this month that killed all 157 people on board. The investigators have said there were striking similarities between the March 10 crash outside of Ethiopia's capital city Addis Ababa and the crash of a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 into the Java Sea in Indonesia last October. Boeing officials say the company has completed developing software upgrades for MCAS aimed at preventing such occurrences in the future. And the MCAS system will rely on data from the two angle of attack sensors on the plane, instead of just one.
