Condolences to VT. It's just horrible and arbitrary.
From what I understand, it seems to be an inherent problem with the aerodynamics of the plane. It's so unbalanced that Boeing had to build in the MCAS software. In other words, there are actual situations where MCAS needs to supplement the pilots to keep the plane in the sky, so Boeing leave it on all the time, which obviously is problematic when the system malfunctions.
Is this not true of Airbus planes from the off? Or is their being designed with this sort of thing in mind from the beginning a less problematic approach?
