To try to make sense of what comes next for Boeing and the 737 Max, and what to avoid, we need to look backward again at McDonnell Douglas and its DC-10.
The FAA is poised to order the Boeing 737 Max ungrounded this week. American Airlines will lead the jet's return after the 20-month grounding. Embraer's conceptual hybrid-electric STOUT for the Brazilian Air Force breaks cover and looks even more interesting than its E3 turboprop study. Apple's path to developing its new ultra-efficient M1 chip is an instructive guide for the strategic future of green aviation.
There is no all-new single-aisle airplane coming from Boeing -- at least not anytime soon, despite reports to the contrary. Yet, the company earlier this year started looking at major revamp of the 737 Max to compete with the Airbus A321XLR.
Boeing floats a new 200 to 250-seater single-aisle, while its most important customer eyes 150 seaters.
Airbus tells suppliers to be ready for a 2021 rate increase, while Mitsubishi nears shelving its SpaceJet.
Looking closely at Boeing's 20-year outlook, China's first jetliner gets its first real slice of the demand pie.
Deteriorating U.S., China relations loom over Boeing and its 737 Max recertification.
Pandemic was accelerant, not cause of decision to consolidate 787 final assembly to its North Charleston, S.C. plant.
Assembly of Boeing's long-range 787 will be done exclusively in South Carolina by mid-2021.
Embedded inside the strategic assumptions underpinning flying with hydrogen paint a very different future for aviation than the one to which the industry has become accustomed over the last 40 years.
The industrial and social dynamics differ radically from those in the United States and elsewhere. The U.S. has provided limited payroll support for its airlines, loans for small businesses, and funds for national security-oriented aerospace companies. Meanwhile, France has offered unprecedented cash injections to its aviation industry, the U.K. has maintained furlough schemes — but Germany has gone considerably farther. Ultimately, the goal is a different outcome for its businesses and its people through the pandemic.

Two manufacturing issues compromised an area of the structure in the rear of the Boeing 787 that is unable to withstand the maximum stress that would be experienced by the aircraft in service and could fail.
