Image Credit: AFPNew York: The changes US aircraft manufacturer Boeing has proposed in the wake of two deadly accidents of its top-selling 737 MAX aircraft were deemed “operationally suitable,” according to a draft report released by US regulators Tuesday. All 737 MAX aircraft have been banned from the world’s skies since days after the Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10, and the FAA has said it will not rush to approve the proposed fixes. Boeing said it has been working on a software upgrade since late last year, and announced additional changes after last month’s deadly crash. The MCAS was developed specifically for the 737 MAX, because its heavier engines created aerodynamic issues.
