An anti-stall system was automatically activated before an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX jet plunged into the ground – agencies
An aerial photo shows Boeing 737 MAX airplanes parked on the tarmac at the Boeing Factory in Renton, Washington, US. March 21, 2019.
Data pulled from the Ethiopian Airlines flight recorder suggests the so-called MCAS system, which pushes the nose of the jet downwards, had been activated before the jet ploughed into a field outside Addis Ababa on March 10, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of an interim official report.
The system is designed to be activated only when the angle of attack – measuring the way the wing cuts through the air – has become too high to avoid the plane stalling or losing lift. Ethiopian, French and US officials have said there are similarities between the two accidents, which led to the worldwide grounding of the recently introduced 737 MAX.
