Boeing reportedly changing Max software to use 2 computers
Boeing is working on new software for the 737 Max that will use a second flight control computer to make the system more reliable, solving a problem that surfaced in June with the grounded jet, two people briefed on the matter said Friday.
The Max was grounded worldwide after crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed a total of 346 people. In the new configuration, both of the plane's flight control computers would be monitored by software instead of the current one, and pilots would get a warning if the computers disagreed on altitude, air speed, and the angle of the wings relative to the air flow, the person said. Only one computer was used in the past, because Boeing was able to prove statistically that its system was reliable, the person said.
The new software would make the entire flight-control system, including MCAS, rely on two computers rather than one, said the person."It would make the whole flight control system more robust," the person said.
