Boeing will release upgraded software for its 737 MAX aircraft in a week to 10 days, according to media reports Friday. The 737 MAX is the model of plane that has been involved in two recent deadly crashes: the Ethiopian Airlines crash Sunday and the Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October. AFP, the French news agency, was the first to report the imminent software upgrade, attributing the information to two unnamed sources. The Ethiopian and the Lion airliners appeared to have similar problems, with both crashing minutes after takeoff, killing everyone on board. The Lion Air crash killed 189 people.
