The engines on the 320 neo are below the wing of the aircraft. On the 737M part of the engine is just above and ahead of the wing. More specifically the bypass area is directly ahead of the leading edge, any break up usually goes out through there. So there.

Now that the engines on the 737 max are even heavier than the previous NG and others will the wing root crack problem be worse in the max ?

Diverting from Delhi is not easy with a heavy jet because Pakistani airports could be risky for your Indu passengers.

When you have millions of people cooking tea and food on the street using dried cow pies. The smell is overwhelming as you descend through the inversion layer at around 10K feet in winter. And of course all these tuk tuks must add quite a bit to the mixture.

Did you know that since turbine engines exit, they have been placed under the wing and a fair distance from the cabin or behind the cabin. The simple reason for this is to protect the fuselage and the wing from a catastrophic failure where the engine falls apart. In the 737 Max the engine placement has compromised this basic principle by moving the engines high and ahead of the wing and closer to the passengers. Could this be a compromise on safety to save money and improve performance at any cost ?

Sad to see that even now, after all the information out about the 737 Max, a lot of confusion appears in the comments on this page. Proves to me that this plane should not fly again until all is cristal clear about it's design faults and how they are compensated for by systems and the crew. Again Boeing is still uncooperative to cover their you know what.

There are other problems with the Max not implicated here, that will appear eventually, for example engine size and placement.

The simple solution is explained in the article, the Captain made the decision to refuse boarding to the drunk passengers. This decision for the safety and comfort of the passengers and crew should always be final. No matter what any judge says.
