Just an SLF here with a question.
The first MAX-10 just rolled out a few days ago and will now undergo the testing and certification process. It has, I understand, a taller undercarriage to prevent tailscrapes. It does not require MCAS but (I suppose due to the changed centre of gravity) apparently has the same pylon and engine position as the MAX-8 etc.
My question. As a last resort, would it be possible to produce (even rework) MAX-8s etc with the MAX-10 undercarriage and a revised pylon and engine position to avoid the flying characteristics that require MCAS?
