ADDIS ABABA/PARIS - Investigators probing the Boeing 737 MAX crash in Ethiopia have found similarities in vital flight angle data with an aeroplane that came down off Indonesia, a source said, hiking pressure on the world’s biggest planemaker.
The angle of attack is a fundamental parameter of flight, measuring the degrees between the air flow and the wing. If it is too high, it can throw the plane into an aerodynamic stall. Under scrutiny is a new automated system in the 737 MAX model that guides the nose lower to avoid stalling. After a 10 percent drop last week that wiped nearly $25 billion off its market share, Boeing stock slid about 2.3 percent on Monday to $370.Weekend media reports heaped further pressure on Boeing.
It was unclear how many of the roughly 1,800 parameters of flight data and two hours of cockpit recordings, spanning the doomed six-minute flight and earlier trips, had been taken into account in the preliminary Ethiopian analysis.
