Boeing is struggling to fix the bugs in its Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The giant could use a second on-board computer to do this.
Boeing may have a solution for the flaw discovered last June in its Boeing 737 Max. The Associated Press and Seattle Times state that the manufacturer is currently developing new software using the two on-board control computers to improve reliability, rather than just one as at present. This would correct the current concern while improving the current MCAS system.
Boeing believes it has a solution to the problem of its Boeing 737 Max
The cause of the problem would be attributed to a microprocessor that is not sufficiently protected against the consequences of arbitrary bit changes. With this new software, both flight computers would have to fail at the same time before a disaster could eventually occur.
