[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4002990, member: 12508"] Boeing was going to design a new plane, and then Airbus came out with the A320Neo. This changed the equation, and in order to have a competitive aircraft in a timely manner, the 737 MAX was designed. Same airframe, slightly different wings, and new, more powerful engines. Keeping it a 737 was key so training and maintenance wouldn't be drastically changed. A new design would have taken at least 5 years to bring to market. Big mistake...so far. [/QUOTE]
