content: i remember the q post youre referring to. it had nothing to do with 'command and control' and everything to do with a major american aircraft manufacturer now building flying bricks that only fly when a computer changes the flight envelope so it behaves the way it should. This got exposed when they tried to sell the 737 max as a new plane, but not a new plane, but a new plane. New plane because Green and good and less fuel!! Not a new plane because when a new aircraft comes out pilots need to be trained to fly it correctly but STILL A NEW PLANE BECAUSE GREEN AND LESS FUEL BUY OUR TOTALLY SAFE PLANE GUISE NOT THE EURO COMPETITOR WITH THE ACTUAL BRAND NEW PLANES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE ENGINES THEY USE, but not a new plane because all they fucking did.... like they were some kind of Tanzanian Aerospace industry niggers, was just put bigger engines on the same non re-designed wings attached in the same place on the same non redesigned fuselage. For the same reason when you are loading an aircraft with cargo and passengers it has to be properly balanced.... you cant just hang bigger fucking engines off the same wings, it absolutely unequivocally does not work that way and we have known that since the fucken dawn of flight - weight too far forward the aircraft wont lift off, and if somehow it does, its going to stay nose heavy. weight too far back, it pitches straight up, stalls, drops down on its tail (the latter being what caused the MAX crashes iirc. Where the engines are and where the wings are are all factored in as is the engine. If the weight of the engines is behind the centre of lift of the aircraft, then you go and add 10 tons more weight in the same place, that plane gonna pitch straight up. So they got the aircraft out of the gates under the guise of 'lower replacement and retraining costs' by fucking around with software. Problem is the pilots didnt know anything about this particular piece of software to begin with, and when it went wrong, suddenly it went from plane to brick. So then Boeing had to admit to the world its aircraft was sketchy as fuck. Boeing have been allowed to sign themselves off on airworthiness with their aircraft for decades, the FAA hasnt been doing it, and now its turned deadly.  That is what that post was about.
