Image Credit: ReutersNew York: Boeing must perform more work on its proposed fix to 737 MAX aircraft before it can be submitted for review, US officials said Monday, suggesting the planes could stay grounded a while longer. Boeing’s 737 MAX planes were grounded globally last month following the second of two deadly crashes to occur in less than five months. Boeing is anxious to win approval for a proposed remedy that could get the planes back in the air. Anti-stall systemA source with knowledge of the investigation has said an anti-stalling system, the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), was activated shortly before the crash. Boeing designed the automated MCAS system — which lowers the aircraft’s nose if it detects a stall or loss of airspeed — for this particular model.
