I’m failing to see your point. It doesn’t have MCAS. Not even close.
The aircraft has a 737-800 body with -900-like wings.
The stabiliser trim system is commensurate with the CG and trimming requirements.
Boeing have tried this to the extent of
falsifying the certification for the latest series.
Below is a link to the STATS for 737 series.
The differences are clear. Especially the size of the horiz stab compared to the elevator.
What is less so is when the series outgrew the capacity of the manual trim to regain control even using the "yo-yo/unload" technique.
I find it interesting [but not surprising] that there is no information available for the military versions what with their structural changes and various augmentations.
Oh, and I believe mcas is used on the frankentanker, albeit with dual aoa inputs.
So who knows what else Boeing have incorporated. Or not.
