Boeing defends 737 MAX design process, sees software fix in weeks
A senior Boeing executive defended the company’s aircraft design and production processes in the wake of 2 fatal crashes of its 737 MAX airliner, and said fixes to software linked to at least one of those crashes should be ready within weeks. Boeing’s commercial plane marketing VP, Randy Tinseth, said he had “great confidence” in the 737 MAX and the process by which Boeing devised the plane. “I know the discipline and rigor of our design process. I know the integrity of our production process,” he said at an investors’ briefing in London. US officials, including the Justice Department and the DoT’s Inspector General, are scrutinising steps taken by Boeing and the FAA, to get the MAX into service. Congress also has scheduled hearings. <br/>
