How the Boeing 737 Max Disaster Looks to a Software Developer

Now, when the pilots applied power to the engine, the aircraft would have a significant propensity to “pitch up,” or raise its nose. Worse still, because the engine nacelles were so far in front of the wing and so large, a power increase will cause them to actually produce lift, particularly at high angles of attack. I’ll say it again: In the 737 Max, the engine nacelles themselves can, at high angles of attack, work as a wing and produce lift.
