If a gear change/derailleur appears beyond Boeing's engineering capacities, they may shop around at any bicycle vendor's ;-)
BTW, weren't the Wright brother bicycle makers ?
No, really, I get your point, and current bicycle gear/chain engineering capabilities are what got this where it is now, right? Now they may have to go back and fix all of their 737 models?

Wouldnt you think that perhaps by now, Boeing engineering would have evolved past the Wright Bros technology?

Someone please let Boeing engineers know the "fly by wire" does not mean actual wire strand cable....

oh crap, just realized that MCAS was part of the "FBW upgrade" portion of the MAX from the NG....

Maybe that is what is taking so long, Boeing has been trying to email the Wright Bros for the 'fix'....still waiting a response...
