Modal suppression, likewise on the 787-10

Thank you. I’ve been looking for extra information on those features.

Any system should be properly developed, test-flown, and engineered. If a system has NOT been properly developed, test-flown and engineered - for example the Boeing MCAS - problems can arise.
.
I see the similarity, but yaw dampers are standard jet equipment, with a well-understood reason for existence since the 50's. I think recent history justifies a raised eyebrow at other self-moving control surfaces that Boeing slipped under the rug and ran.

Yes, fair comment.

One would hope this system is fail-safe, unlike the MCAS.

FBW is a flight critical system - Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) - and is developed and certified accordingly.
The problem with MCAS is that it wasn't considered to be a flight critical system - it was assumed to be a 'major' system, and developed and certified accordingly. Had MCAS been recognized as a flight critical system it would never have been implemented the way it was.

Hindsight is indeed 20/20.
