I realize this is a triple 7, but what about the 737 Max with the engines cantilevered forward of the wing too?

European Airbus is looking better every day.


What are you talking about? The fact the the engine is mounted forward of the leading edge of the wing? Every modern aircraft with wing-mounted engines is that way--including Airbus. Only way to get the weight and balance correct, plus a lot of other reasons.

I'll be interested in what the investigation reveals--but that will take some time. But I guess all the amateur internet aerospace engineers will have it figured out by the end of the day....
