Boeing hid a system from pilots to save a training fee. 346 people died.

Описание: The Boeing 737 MAX was the company's best-selling aircraft, rushed to market to compete with Airbus. Its larger engines changed the plane's handling, so Boeing added an automated flight-control system called MCAS to compensate.

MCAS relied on a single sensor with no redundancy. And Boeing minimized its existence in pilot documentation — because disclosing it would have required costly new pilot simulator training, undermining the plane's key selling point that airlines would not need to retrain their pilots.

In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed, killing 189. In March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed in nearly identical circumstances, killing 157. A total of 346 people died. The MAX was grounded worldwide for roughly 20 months.

Boeing was charged with fraud for deceiving the FAA and reached settlements totaling billions of dollars. No executive was imprisoned.

Another loss on the books.
