Will the relevant bare-airframe test results be released, or will Boeing be able to convince the world and the courts that they are properly proprietary?
Equally excellent narrative!MCAS really shared 2 common themes, IMHO;1) Stick force gradient at the lower end of the speed envelope.2) Monitoring AoA to ensure that excessive pitch wouldn't end up as a stall.Somewhere along the design phase and flight test, I believe that there must have been numerous discussions on "how best to implement MCAS" and satisfy part 25 requirements, without raising further objections, concerns and engineering issues.
