United Airlines is on the verge of leasing over thirty-six Airbus A321neo jets, as per Bloomberg News, leveraging sources familiar with the discussions. The move comes as United seeks alternatives to the yet-to-be-certified Boeing MAX 10 aircraft, initially anticipated to become a fleet mainstay this year.

Definitely will be a big blow to Boeing. But hey, business is business. Good for both Airbus and United
Nice plane also. No major design flaws compensated with software that I know of.

The 737 Max is a redesign of the old 737m As little as possible changes on the overall geometry were intended. However weight an position of the new engines shifted the CG to close or behind the CoL. That makes a plane unstable. Unless you design a fighter this is a design flaw, I'd consider it a non forgiveable error.
wtf are you talking about. EVERYTHiNG is run by software. They did everything(tried) to compensate for the big engines on an old plane that wasn't designed for these engines.ever. They pulled out some tricks in software to compensate. and failed.
Everything is run by software? Totally agree!

Many of Airbus's past issues did come to light thou. EG the 2015 directive involving the A400M but still lead to a fatal accident involving the craft..
If you are referring to AF447, it wasn't software..it was weather and confusion.
